How does the saying go? .... It takes a village to raise a child.
These are words that we must remember whenever we think that we're doing it all ourselves, when we're tired, when we're discouraged. Instead, Saint Paul reminds us today: We are many, but we are all one Body in Christ, and individually parts of one another (Rom 12:5).
Each of us has talents and gifts - given us by our good and gracious God - and we are all called to use these gifts to help others to come to know him. Some of us have the gift of prophecy, some are called to be teachers, some to lead, some to encourage and some are called to contribute in other ways (cf Rom 12:6-8).
Let us strive today to share the gifts we have received, and to see ourselves as part of the Body of Christ, together called to serve others in the name of Jesus who loves us all.
Have a great day.
