It’s hard to pass through life as an atheist, because as
humans we cannot get rid of the feeling that there is more. Paul, in today’s
reading talks about people who adopt some substitute for that “more.” They make
their bellies into their gods, or for the glory to come they substitute
shameful indulgences.
Paul thanked God who has led him to reject those
substitutes, embracing Christ instead; then, letting Christ lead him into the full
possession of eternal life.
Paul invites us to do what he did. By accepting Christ’s
invitation, he has begun to experience here below a delight that far exceeds the
worldly pleasures which a mortal could take up to slake his thirst for the
divine.
