Solid food

Tragically (and ironically), too many people stop their religious education when they receive Confirmation, leaving them to face the moral and other challenges of the world with little more than a child’s understanding of the faith.

The words of Saint Paul in today’s first reading (1 Corinthians 3:1-9) resonate:

I fed you milk, not solid food,
because you were unable to take it.
Indeed, you are still not able, even now,
for you are still of the flesh.
While there is jealousy and rivalry among you,
are you not of the flesh, and walking
according to the manner of man?

May the Lord give us the grace to learn and embrace the true faith more fully and to live it more perfectly.
