Acting on the Word

Each day this week, take at least 5 minutes for meditative prayer:  Sit comfortably and focus on your breathing.  Imagine being part of a larger body, with Jesus Christ as the head and other Christians as other parts of the body.  What part are you?  How are you connected to others?
