Bring Your Body Home
In Jesus, God took on human flesh. The Spirit of God overshadowed Mary, and in her all enmity between spirit and body was overcome. God’s Spirit was united with the human spirit, and the human body became the temple destined to be lifted up into the intimacy of God through the resurrection. Every human body has been given a new hope of belonging eternally to the God who created it. Thanks to the Incarnation, you can bring your body home.
“Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body.”
- 1 Corinthians 6: 19 - 20
Reflection Question: How can you welcome your body as a home for God’s Spirit and a source of hope?
