The body of Christ!!!

"Now you are Christ's body, and individually parts of it" (I Corinthians 12:27). We are the people of God, the body of Christ. Yes, we are many parts but we make up the one body of Christ. In the "Living Faith" devotional, Amy Welborn reflects on what it means to be the body of Christ, whether we are a large or small group gathered in prayer. She writes, "For here we are: a small group enriched by each other's presence and by the Real Presence among us most of all. But we're not floating here in isolation. Around the world millions of others are gathered in other small groups of just this sort, listening to the same revealed Word - individual, distinct, yet so marvelously one - that Body, the Body of Christ" (Welborn, "Living Faith, 9-18-12). That is awesome to think about, people around the world gathering around the table of the Lord to be fed and nourished by Word and Eucharist. We come from all different walks of life, we all have a story to tell, but most importantly, God brings it all together and makes us the body of Christ. May God Bless Our Journey!!!
