THE WORD FOR 4/2
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭12:25‭-‬27‬ ‭
There should be no division in the body, but that its members should have equal care and concern for each other. If one member suffers, every member suffers with it; if one member is honoured, every member rejoices with it. Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a member of it. 
When it comes to the body of believers, we need each other—every member—in order to be healthy and strong. We must support and protect each other. If we say we love Jesus, we must love His body, the members of the church too. Let's not fall into the trap of criticising the church or its members, it hurts the Lord.  He loves His people, He gave His life for them. They are not perfect. They are forgiven, a work in progress and are being conformed to His image.
Prayer: Lord, thank You for Your body which is the church. May I humbly serve You and Your church for Your purposes. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.

John 2:15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
THE TEMPLE OF GOD
1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you?
1 Corinthians 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

"I Gotta Give You Something to Do."
The above quote is said by Roy Mustang in the English dub of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. In this scene, he’s fighting with his lieutenant/bodyguard, Riza Hawkeye, and they wind up back to back in battle. They both jump and turn around; Roy smiles when he sees her, but Riza fires a couple bullets on either side of his head. Roy didn’t see the enemy that was close to cutting him down with a…

Yes you go to church (the building) but the real question is, are you part of the church (the body of Christ)?

Jesus, our head, is already in heaven; and if the head be above water, the body cannot drown.

Isn’t it ironic that stolen consecrated Eucharists are abused at some Satanic black masses (and by other people for abuse), and yet only one third of Catholics actually believe in the Transubstantiation of the consecrated Eucharist? Even Satan recognizes Jesus is truly present, body, blood, soul, and divinity within the consecration of the Eucharist and wine. And yet… so many do not believe in our Lord’s words. Why don’t you???

THE MESSENGER OF THE COVENANT
Malachi 2:5 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.

“We awaken in Christ’s body as Christ awakens our bodies, and my poor hand is Christ, He enters my foot, and is infinitely me.
I move my hand, and wonderfully my hand becomes Christ, becomes all of Him (for God is indivisibly whole, seamless in His Godhood).
I move my foot, and at once He appears like a flash of lightning. Do my words seem blasphemous? — Then open your heart to Him
and let yourself receive the one who is opening to you so deeply. For if we genuinely love Him, we wake up inside Christ’s body
where all our body, all over, every most hidden part of it, is realized in joy as Him, and He makes us, utterly, real,
and everything that is hurt, everything that seemed to us dark, harsh, shameful, maimed, ugly, irreparably damaged, is in Him transformed
and recognized as whole, as lovely, and radiant in His light he awakens as the Beloved in every last part of our body.”
