Week 42 - The Journey Apostle Paul
"And he put all things beneath his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of the one who fills all things in every way." Ephesians 1:22-23
Resurrection. Sin, the One who bore all of our sins, is the head, we are the body. Considered the scourging at the pillar as Jesus is being whipped for our sin. Each and every sin He bore. Do we recognize that the sins we commit inflict pain upon the mystical body of Christ?
In the journey with Christ, daily, we begin to understand how sin impacts our lives, how it causes chaos in our world, how the pain of it hurts and we realize that it is Jesus who willingly died for them. Paul persecuted the Church until he seen the Church as Jesus, each and everyone of them.
In the Risen Christ, the pain is gone, there is new life, there is joy and there is peace. You with Jesus, have overcome and are becoming, well you are, He is already there waiting upon us to join Him.
What is God saying to me? A little at a time.
Dear Father, Thank You, for witnessing the resurrection of Your body. There are many saints who walk amongst us who have bore the pain and are now living as a disciple sharing the joy of Your Risen Body. Help us see how we are healed by Your stripes, the ones we inflict upon ourselves. I thank You with the heart full of gratitude. Prayers for a friend with an severe ear ache, by Your stripes we are healed. Bless this day Lord, in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Our Lady of Victory, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Model of Workmen, Pray for us.
