So we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10 NIV
A Christian’s goal should be to create the Kingdom of God here on earth, as it is in Heaven. Not only, to get to Heaven.

Ezekiel 10
1 Then, in vision I saw that above the solid surface over the heads of the winged creatures there was above them something like sapphire, which seemed to be like a throne.
2 He then said to the man dressed in linen, ‘Go in between the wheels below the winged creatures; take a handful of burning coal from between the winged creatures and scatter it over the city.’ He went in as I watched.
3 The winged creatures were on the right of the Temple as the man went in, and the cloud filled the inner court.
4 The glory of Yahweh rose from above the winged creatures, towards the threshold of the Temple; the Temple was filled by the cloud and the court was full of the brightness of the glory of Yahweh.
5 The noise of the winged creatures’ wings could be heard even in the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.
6 When he had given the order to the man dressed in linen, ‘Take the fire from between the wheels, between the winged creatures,’ the man went in and stood by one of the wheels.
7 One of the winged creatures then reached his hand out towards the fire between the winged creatures, took some of it and put it into the hands of the man dressed in linen, who took it and came out again.
8 There appeared to be what looked like a human hand under the winged creatures’ wings.
9 And I looked, and there were four wheels beside the winged creatures, one wheel beside each winged creature, and the appearance of the wheels was like the sparkle of chrysolite.
10 In appearance, all four looked alike, as though each wheel had another wheel inside it.
11 In whichever of the four directions they moved, they did not need to turn as they moved, but whichever way the head was facing there they followed; they did not turn as they moved,
12 and their entire bodies, their backs, their hands, their wings, as well as the wheels, had eyes all the way round (the wheels of all four).
13 In my hearing, these wheels were called ‘galgal’.
14 Each had four faces; the first was a winged creature’s face, the second a human face, the third a lion’s face and the fourth an eagle’s face.
15 The winged creatures rose; this was the being I had seen by the River Chebar.
16 When the winged creatures moved, the wheels moved beside them; and when the winged creatures raised their wings to leave the ground, the wheels did not turn beside them.
17 When the former halted the latter halted; when the former rose, the latter rose with them, since they shared the same living spirit.
18 The glory of Yahweh then came out over the Temple threshold and paused over the winged creatures.
19 These raised their wings and rose from the ground as I watched, and the wheels were beside them. They paused at the entrance to the east gate of the Temple of Yahweh, with the glory of the God of Israel over them, above.
20 This was the winged creature I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the River Chebar; I knew that they were winged creatures.
21 Each had four faces and four wings and what seemed to be human hands under their wings.
22 Their faces were like those I had seen by the River Chebar. Each one moved straight forward.
Ezekiel 11
1 The spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the Temple of Yahweh, the gate that looks eastwards. There at the entrance to the gate stood twenty-five men, among whom I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, leaders of the people.
2 He said to me, ‘Son of man, these are the wicked schemers who are spreading their bad advice through this city.
3 They say, “There will be no house-building yet awhile. The city is the cooking pot and we are the meat.”
4 So prophesy against them, prophesy, son of man!’
5 The spirit of Yahweh fell on me, and he said to me, ‘Say, “Yahweh says this: I know what you are saying, House of Israel, I know how insolent you are.
6 You have filled this city with more and more of your victims; you have strewn its streets with victims.
7 And so the Lord Yahweh says this: Your victims, whom you have put in it, are the meat, and the city is the cooking pot; but I shall take you out of it.
8 You are afraid of the sword and I shall bring the sword down on you — declares the Lord Yahweh-
9 and I shall take you out of it and hand you over to foreigners and bring you to justice;
10 you will fall by the sword on the soil of Israel; I shall execute justice on you, and you will know that I am Yahweh.
11 This city will be no cooking pot for you, nor will you be the meat inside; I shall execute justice on you on the soil of Israel;
12 and you will know that I am Yahweh, whose laws you have not obeyed and whose judgements you have not kept; instead, you have adopted the customs of the nations round you.” ‘
13 Now as I was prophesying, Pelatiah son of Benaiah dropped dead. I fell to the ground and cried out, ‘Ah, Lord Yahweh, are you going to annihilate the remnant of Israel?’
14 The word of Yahweh was then addressed to me as follows,
15 ‘Son of man, to your brothers one and all, to your kinsfolk and to the whole House of Israel, the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, “Keep well away from Yahweh. This country has now been made over to us!”
16 So say, “The Lord Yahweh says this: Yes, I have sent them far away among the nations and I have dispersed them to foreign countries; and for a while I have been a sanctuary for them in the country to which they have gone.”
17 So say, “The Lord Yahweh says this: I shall gather you back from the peoples, I shall collect you in from the countries where you have been scattered and give you the land of Israel.
18 When they come back, they will purge it of all its horrors and loathsome practices.
19 I shall give them a single heart and I shall put a new spirit in them; I shall remove the heart of stone from their bodies and give them a heart of flesh,
20 so that they can keep my laws and respect my judgements and put them into practice. Then they will be my people and I shall be their God.
21 But those whose hearts are set on their horrors and loathsome practices I shall repay for their conduct — declares the Lord Yahweh.” ‘
22 The winged creatures then raised their wings and the wheels moved with them, with the glory of the God of Israel over them, above.
23 And the glory of Yahweh rose from the centre of the city and halted on the mountain to the east of the city.
24 Then the spirit lifted me up and took me, in vision, in the spirit of God, to the exiles in Chaldaea, and the vision which I had seen faded.
25 I then told the exiles everything that Yahweh had shown me.
3 John
1 From the Elder: greetings to my dear friend Gaius, whom I love in truth.
2 My dear friend, I hope everything is going happily with you and that you are as well physically as you are spiritually.
3 It was a great joy to me when some brothers came and told of your faithfulness to the truth, and of your life in the truth.
4 It is always my greatest joy to hear that my children are living according to the truth.
5 My dear friend, you have done loyal work in helping these brothers, even though they were strangers to you.
6 They are a proof to the whole Church of your love and it would be a kindness if you could help them on their journey as God would approve.
7 It was entirely for the sake of the name that they set out, without depending on the non-believers for anything:
8 it is our duty to welcome people of this sort and contribute our share to their work for the truth.
9 I have written a note for the members of the church, but Diotrephes, who enjoys being in charge of it, refuses to accept us.
10 So if I come, I shall tell everyone how he has behaved, and about the wicked accusations he has been circulating against us. As if that were not enough, he not only refuses to welcome our brothers, but prevents from doing so other people who would have liked to, and expels them from the church.
11 My dear friend, never follow a bad example, but keep following the good one; whoever does what is right is from God, but no one who does what is wrong has ever seen God.
12 Demetrius has been approved by everyone, and indeed by Truth itself. We too will vouch for him and you know that our testimony is true.
13 There were several things I had to tell you but I would rather not trust them to pen and ink.
14 However, I hope to see you soon and talk to you in person.
15 Peace be with you; greetings from your friends; greet each of our friends by name.

Catholic Daily Readings at every Mass
Reading 1, Ezekiel 47:1-2, 8-9, 12
1 He brought me back to the entrance of the Temple, where a stream flowed eastwards from under the Temple threshold, for the Temple faced east. The water flowed from under the right side of the Temple, south of the altar.
2 He took me out by the north gate and led me right round outside as far as the outer east gate where the water flowed out on the right-hand side.
8 He said, ‘This water flows east down to the Arabah and to the sea; and flowing into the sea it makes its waters wholesome.
9 Wherever the river flows, all living creatures teeming in it will live. Fish will be very plentiful, for wherever the water goes it brings health, and life teems wherever the river flows.
12 Along the river, on either bank, will grow every kind of fruit tree with leaves that never wither and fruit that never fails; they will bear new fruit every month, because this water comes from the sanctuary. And their fruit will be good to eat and the leaves medicinal.’
Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 46:2-3, 5-6, 8-9
2 so we shall not be afraid though the earth be in turmoil, though mountains tumble into the depths of the sea,
3 and its waters roar and seethe, and the mountains totter as it heaves. (Yahweh Sabaoth is with us, our citadel, the God of Jacob.)
5 God is in the city, it cannot fall; at break of day God comes to its rescue.
6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms are tumbling, when he raises his voice the earth crumbles away.
8 Come, consider the wonders of Yahweh, the astounding deeds he has done on the earth;
9 he puts an end to wars over the whole wide world, he breaks the bow, he snaps the spear, shields he burns in the fire.
Gospel, John 2:13-22
13 When the time of the Jewish Passover was near Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
14 and in the Temple he found people selling cattle and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting there.
15 Making a whip out of cord, he drove them all out of the Temple, sheep and cattle as well, scattered the money changers’ coins, knocked their tables over
16 and said to the dove sellers, ‘Take all this out of here and stop using my Father’s house as a market.’
17 Then his disciples remembered the words of scripture: I am eaten up with zeal for your house.
18 The Jews intervened and said, ‘What sign can you show us that you should act like this?’
19 Jesus answered, ‘Destroy this Temple, and in three days I will raise it up.’
20 The Jews replied, ‘It has taken forty-six years to build this Temple: are you going to raise it up again in three days?’
21 But he was speaking of the Temple that was his body,
22 and when Jesus rose from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the scripture and what he had said.
Reading 2, 1 Corinthians 3:9C-11, 16-17
9 After all, we do share in God’s work; you are God’s farm, God’s building.
10 By the grace of God which was given to me, I laid the foundations like a trained master-builder, and someone else is building on them. Now each one must be careful how he does the building.
11 For nobody can lay down any other foundation than the one which is there already, namely Jesus Christ.
16 Do you not realise that you are a temple of God with the Spirit of God living in you?
17 If anybody should destroy the temple of God, God will destroy that person, because God’s temple is holy; and you are that temple.
