"Christ is in our midst!" * (Matt. 18:19.)

By nature,

each one of us is enclosed in his own personality,

but supernaturally,

we are all one.

We are made one body in Christ,

because we are nourished by one flesh.

As Christ is indivisible,

we are all One in Him.

Therefore, He asked His Father

"that they may all be One as We also are One."

-- (Saint Cyril of Alexandria)

THIS IS JESUS TO ME:
The Word made flesh.
The Bread of life.
The Victim offered for our sins on The Cross.
The Sacrifice offered at the Eucharist for the sins of the World and mine.

The Word - to be spoken.
The Truth - to be told.
The Way - to be walked.
The Light - to be lit.
The Life - to be lived.
The Love - to be loved.
The Joy - to be shared.
The Sacrifice - to be offered.
The Peace - to be given.
The Bread of Life to be eaten.
The Hungry - to be fed.
The Thirsty - to be satiated.
The Naked - to be clothed.
The Homeless - to be taken in.
The Sick - to be healed.
The Lonely - to be loved.
The Unwanted - to be wanted.
The Leper - to wash his wounds.
The Beggar - to give him a smile.
The Drunkard - to listen to him.
The Mental - to protect him.
The Little One - to embrace him.
The Blind - to lead him.
The Dumb - to speak for him.
The Crippled - to walk with him.
The Drug addict - to befriend him.
The Prostitute - to remove from danger and befriend her.
The Prisoner - to be visited.

To me
Jesus is my God.
Jesus is my Spouse.
Jesus is my Life.
Jesus is my only Love.
Jesus is my All in all.
Jesus is my Everything.

* "Christ is in our midst!" (Matt. 18:19.) is the orthodox salutation during our Traditional Pax ("Kiss of Peace" during Holy Mass) "Greet one another with a kiss of love." (1 Peter 5:14.) Greeks and Arabs kiss once on each cheek; Slavs kiss three times starting from the left. REPLY: "He is and shall be!"
