The Deep End/ Stretched Out

Depending on your viewpoint it’s refreshing, or alarming how certain Paul can be in his statements on complex issues. Take today’s Second reading (Eph 1:3 -14)for example. Here he just baldly states that God ‘chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world to be blameless before him in love,’ and that has ‘made known the mystery of his will ….as a plan for the fullness of time’.

Clearly, for him, God took great care with us humans, his creation.

Two things are striking here: his reference to God’s pre-creation will and, for want of a better expression, his post-temporal one. Again, for Paul human beings are not an after-thought in the mind of God. No! Even before creation’s foundation is set, way before any humans appear on the scene, God already has a plan for them - and a great one at that! This seemingly quirky creation, queered and more chaotic than we can ever imagine, progresses according to a divine plan.

Here we feel the power of faith at work. For only faith can work at this level. Science has nothing to say about pre-foundational creation, about the awesome void of our pre-pyrotechnic cosmos, about the deafening silence of its final destination readily dwarfing even the Big Bang’s birth cry.

Yet here we have unscientific Paul opening our minds to realities that only faith can reveal, and stretching them to their limits, and then some. Are we ready for the strain of trying to comprehend God, small as a loving father yet enormous enough to encompass creation?
