Today, on this Third Sunday in Ordinary Time, let us celebrate our diversity and affirm our unity as part of the family of God. By baptism, we became children of God and became members of the Body of Christ. Let us pray for the courage to embrace our unique role in the Body of Christ, and may we use what God has given us to help those members of this One Body become well and alive.
The first reading today speaks of the different members of the One Body of Christ. Some are prophets, apostles, healers, and teachers. We can also add mothers, fathers, ministers, artists, handymen, care providers, bankers, service men and women, and so on - the list is endless. All are different but everyone is necessary. Together we are all part of the great plan of salvation. We each have our own role to fulfill and no role is insignificant. Together we make up the Body of Christ.
