*t 4-t7 | Matthew z8 16-zo When I was a young girl, I used to imagine I was adopted. This had nothing to do with loving my parents and family, which I did. lthink it was one of the many steps in dealing with the life questions, "Who am l" and "Who do belong to?" Deuteronomy 4i32-34, 3g-4o I Rom ans

Later in my life, I met people who were actually adopted, and one said the experience of being adopted gave him a much clearer sense of belonging than I knew. "Someone chose mer" he said. "A family wanted me to belong to them and they wanted to belong to me."

Whenever I read today's section of Paul's Letter to the Romans, I remember my friend and my own wondering. The questions of who we are and whose we are don't go away as we get into adulthood. New schools, new jobs, and new family situations bring those questions into our minds, sometimes with a force that surprises us. There are times we feel as if we have lost ourselves and lost our way. On other occasions, we might feel alone. When those moments come, all we can do is trust that someone does love us and calls us to be our best selves. ln his letter, Paul reminds us who we are-the adopted children of God-and in the process he also reminds us whose we are. We belong to God, and we

are grounded in this reality by our baptism in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God, in his being, is a love relationship. ls it any wonder that our belonging grounds us in the darktimes and gives us joy in the others. ls there anything else we need to know?

de ar PADRE C)

Mark l3:32 says of the end of the world, "But of that day or hour, no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son. but only the Father." If Jesus, God the Father, and the Holy Spirit are one. how can Jesus not know every,thing God knows? In our studies about Jesus, Christology, we believe Jesus is 100 percent human and 100 percent divine. Two natures in one person. That is a mystery. So when Jesus says he does not know the day of the end of the world, he means that his human nature does not know. That same doctrine is the way we understand how Jesus as divine could die-that is. his human part. That is how the Lord entered into our history and can really save us: He is truly one of us. Every person has free will. That means our choices are not predetermined. God knows all our possible choices and how those choices will affect the world. So there are multiple possible futures. God knows them all, so God does know when the world willend. The human mind cannot conceive every possible choice and every possible effect. So just as Jesus had to learn to speak, in his humanity he cannot know all possible futures. FR. DON KIRCHN ER, C SsR suncla-vbullctinlri'lisuori.olg
