Growing in knowledge of God

In today's first reading, Eph. 1: 15-23, St. Paul prays "that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give...[us] a spirit of wisdom and revelation resulting in knowledge of him."   This evening the twenty-nine delegates of the 2lst General Assembly are going to visit the soup kitchen of the Community of San` Egidio here in Rome.  This Center serves the poor and the immigrants of Rome.  We will grow in our knowledge of God by witnessing those who serve the poor, as Jesus did, and by the poor themselves.  Both those who serve and those being served will remind us of our dependence upon God and upon one another to build the Kingdom, to grow in wisdom and grace, open to all.

How, with whom, and to whom today did you build the Kingdom.  With whom and through whom did you learn of God's wisdom today? Where and through whom did you experience a "revelation resulting in knowledge of God'?
