Yesterday we saw in the First Reading about what makes us all one in Christ. Today, we are reminded that within that unity there is a great diversity. Each one of us has been given a special gift. That gift is not just for ourselves but is the special ability with which we are called to serve the Christian and the wider community. Each of us working together through our unique gift are called to build up the Body of Christ and, in so doing, each of us becomes the kind of person that God wants us to be. Together, we find the strength to resist the harmful forces that threaten us. Always 'speaking the truth in love', we grow together into Christ. Collectively we become the Body of Christ, the visible presence of God's love in the world.
