Christ is the Messiah for All

January 27, 2017 by Fr. Paul Demuth

Christ is truly the Messiah for all peoples – everyone.

That is such a beautiful but difficult reality to make our own. In theory we all nod in agreement:  “Yes, Christ is for all people.”  But the reality of opening our minds and hearts to everyone, especially those who seem so different and distant from us, is indeed challenging.

I find myself too often making subconscious conclusions about persons and groups that don’t think, act, or believe similar to my upbringing. I certainly have been blessed by being raised in the Demuth household but have come to realize how this is not the only way.

When I open myself up to learn how other peoples are raised in another tradition, I am enriched. When I encounter folks whose upbringing is totally different than mine, I soon realize how amazing it is that God has worked through them and in them — unique to their history and culture.  It is in those moments that my prejudices begin to soften and melt.

O God, you are marvelous indeed!

You are the God of all peoples and

I praise you for them.

In their diversity, we are all enriched.

Glory and praise to you!
