Daily Retreat 09/16/08
2008 Sep 16 Tue: Cornelius, pp, mt, and Cyprian, bp, mt M
1 Cor 12: 12-14. 27-31a/ Ps 99(100): 1b-2. 3. 4. 5/ Lk 7: 11-17
From today’s readings: “As a body is one, though it has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though many, are one body, so also Christ.... Sing joyfully to the LORD.... Young man, I tell you, arise!”
One Body
St. Paul’s reflections express Christian unity simply as the incarnation of the Body of Christ. What a bold, yet so fitting, image of community communion! Even the legitimate recognition of the diversity of the body’s members does not compromise the profound unity of the one body.
Too many verses have been omitted from the lectionary reading - take the time today to read all of chapter 12 of Paul’s First Epistle to the Corinthians, and come to realize and appreciate anew your own unique vocation as an indispensable member of the Body of Christ!
