(1 Cor 3: 9c-11. 16-17)
An overly pious man lived on our road. He wore several rosary beads and many scapulars hung from his neck. People used to call him ‘the walking church’. Every Christian, according to St. Paul, ought to be a ‘walking church’, though in a very different sense. The Spirit dwelling within us makes each one a living, breathing space for holiness which must never be damaged nor destroyed. Christ is the firm foundation on which everything else rests. Will we survive the damage of present-day scandals and rejection? Whatever our failures, the spiritual core of the church remains untouched. Let us build on that.
