NOTES for Co1 12:12-13
Here is the answer to the question: how can it happen that people, so different, can still be one in the Church? "By one Spirit we were all baptized into one body," says the apostle Paul. Humanly speaking, it seems that disputes, quarrels, and divisions cannot fail to exist in any group of people. But the Lord intended everything differently, and in Him unity in love is possible. So where is this unity?
What is the Church? The Church is us, believers in Christ, baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. And if there is no unity in the Church, then there is little love in us. And if there is little love in us, then we have not yet been fully given to drink of the Spirit. Today, on the day of Pentecost, let us pray to the Lord that rivers of the living water of the Holy Spirit may flow in our hearts, so that we may be able to manifest this unity.
