What is the "age to come" that St. Paul mentions in today's second reading? While we are still in the age that began with Adam and Eve, Jesus has planted the seed for the coming age. As we trust him and keep worshipping, the earth will be perfected, everything bad will be cleansed away, and He will bring us into the full flourishing of His love.
