Becoming one flesh with Christ
Friday, 3rd week in Easter
Acts 9:1-20; Jn 6: 52-59
When Jesus said he would give his flesh to eat, the people objected calling it impossible. When Paul said he would preach Christ to the end of the world, people again objected calling it unbelievable. That is how the world is... do all the good you intend to. Paul knew what it meant to become one flesh with Christ. He knew the passion that filled Christ's heart and understood the mission that occupied his mind. Paul was one flesh with Christ and felt, thought and acted like Christ.
The invitation is clear: to become like Christ, to live like Christ, to become one flesh with Christ. We are given all the opportunities to progress on this call but the challenge is that we take this task to heart. May the body we eat and the blood we consume make us more and more of Him.
