 The first two readings at Mass today are a nice little summary of the Christian life. Hello, Father Kubicki here, and I would say that our first two readings have three very basic points. One, as the reading from the Book of Wisdom says, God formed man to be imperishable, the image of his own nature he made him. In other words, you and I are made in God's image and likeness. Each of us has an immortal soul.
