Pope Benedict: True worship is when man becomes the glory of God!

True worship is expressed by man when he becomes, with his entire self, the Glory of God. Benedict XVI reiterated this in today's General Audience catechesis, speaking again of St. Paul and taking into consideration some of the texts in which the Apostle analyzes the meaning of sacrifices offered to God. Following St. Paul, the Holy Father observed, we know that the Apostle of the Gospel is a true priest and makes his entire life a sacrifice to honor God.

The goal of missionary activity is that people be united in Christ and that the world become the glory of God. The gift of Christ includes the attraction of all to full communion in His Body, to unite the world. Only in communion with Christ, one with God, the world becomes what we wish it to be: a mirror of Divine Love.
