For your contemplation: “One Body with Many Parts.” ‘The Church is one body,’ Paul writes. ‘We were baptized into one body in a single spirit.’ (1 Corinthians 12:19.) But this one body has many parts.’ As Paul says, ‘If they were all the same part, how could it be a body? As it is, the parts are many but the body is one.’ (1 Corinthians 12:19). Not everyone can be everything. Often we expect one member of the body to fulfill a task that belongs to others. But the hand cannot be asked to see nor the eye to hear. Together we are Christ’s body, each of us with a part to play in the whole. (see 1 Corinthians 12:27). Let’s be grateful for our limited but real part in the body.” Henri J.M. Nouwen.
