Today’s reading: Romans 12
Today Paul returns to a theme that he often speaks of. He once again expresses the radical unity that is part of being a Catholic.
... so we though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given us, let us use them….
Notice, we are “members one of another”. Paul doesn’t just state we are one body. He is indicating a greater level of unity than a team or even a military unit. We are so closely related that we are “members one of another.”
Paul then lists the many ways we should care for each other. Paul instructs us on everything from using our talents for their intended purpose, to simple politeness, to forgiving our enemies. Paul lays out how we are to live in many important instances. They are good passages to read over regularly to remind us how to live.
Tomorrow: Romans 13
I was born and raised in New York City, and now live in Fairfax, VA with my wife and four kids.
I am an attorney and accomplished litigator at one of Washington D.C.’s top law firms, I began writing about religion when I was asked to author a series of articles explaining the Catholic faith on the popular blog 52 Prayers. I now write regularly about my faith on my blog.
My recently published novel The Last Confession of The Vampire Judas Iscariot is my first foray into fiction.
