"I am with you always, until the end of the age."  (Matthew 28:20)

The above was excerpted from the responsorial psalm of today's reading.

Although Jesus had ascended into heaven and was witnessed by His disciples, He is always living among us. He promised that "for where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." (Matthew 18:20)

"In God's name" means living in the spirit of God. Thus gathering together only for God's name is insufficient for God's presence among us. The spirit of God is naturally about loving each other.

Jesus had reminded us that we should reconcile with people who have wronged us before we offer our gifts in front of God's altar.

Moreover, when we follow the teaching of the church, listen to God's words and receive sacraments with true and humble hearts, we will be able to meet Jesus directly.
