I am a Child of God

Lectio: 
HEB 1:1-6

Brothers and sisters:
In times past, God spoke in partial and various ways
to our ancestors through the prophets;
in these last days, he has spoken to us through the Son,
whom he made heir of all things
and through whom he created the universe,
who is the refulgence of his glory,
the very imprint of his being,
and who sustains all things by his mighty word.
When he had accomplished purification from sins,
he took his seat at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
as far superior to the angels
as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.
For to which of the angels did God ever say:
You are my son; this day I have begotten you?
Or again:
I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me?
And again, when he leads the firstborn into the world, he says:
Let all the angels of God worship him.

Studium: 

This reading begins with what was probably a hymn sung in one of the Hebrew liturgies. It would have pondered one of Isaiah's prophecies.  The reading is filled with visual imagery and at the end God's voice speaks to us.  And doesn't it sound like Wisdom personified?

 Meditatio:

The relationship between the Father and the Son is closer than the angels to God.  Dare I say, even closer than our relationship to the Father?  But Jesus, the Son is one of us,  so may I say, we have a special relationship with the Father, too? Jesus is the Son of the Father and our brother, and hence we are the children of God, too.

Oratio: 

O Lord, I love You as a child loves his father.  Even more so, because You are most worthy.
