今天我們回到《厄弗所書》第二章的第二部分。這一部分講述了耶穌用自己的寶血所成就的萬民合一。

今天我們聚焦在宗徒的角色。

正是透過他們，透過他們對耶穌的信仰，透過他們對耶穌在救恩歷史中角色的詮釋，透過他們傳承下來的傳統，我們才能接近耶穌，領受祂的恩賜——聖神。

的確，許多人都見過、聽過耶穌的話語；但只有宗徒的回應，才使耶穌得以建立祂的教會。

這個過程既是外在的、人際的（耶穌透過萬民的合一建立有形的教會），也是內在的（耶穌在我們每個人心中建造天主的聖殿，讓天主藉著聖神居住其中）。

當我們默想這奇妙的恩典之工時，我們便會驚嘆不已，心中充滿喜樂、感恩和讚美。

We return today to the second part of the second chapter of the letter to the Ephesians. This section speaks of the unity among peoples brought about by Jesus in his own blood.

Today we focus on the role of the Apostles.

It is through them, through their faith  in Jesus, through their interpretation of His figure, through the tradition that they handed over, that we reach Jesus and receive His gifts, the Holy Spirit.

Indeed, many people saw and heard Jesus’ words; but only the answer of the apostles is the one that allows Jesus to build up His Church.

This process is at the same time external and interpersonal (Jesus builds up the visible Church through the unity of many peoples), and internal (Jesus build in each one of us the temple of God, where God lives through the Holy Spirit).

When we meditate on such marvelous work of grace, we are amazed and filled with joy, thanksgiving and praise.
