(Fifth Sunday Easter, A)
St. Peter wrote, “Beloved: Come to him (Jesus), a living stone, rejected by human beings but chosen and precious in the sight of God, and, like living stones, let yourselves be built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” 1_Pt 2:4-9
Through our baptism, beloved, we become those “living stones,” for use in construction of God’s living temple – the Body of Christ on earth, in our own world. Our sacrifices, then, being every time we let go of our “self” to care for the needs of others, just as Jesus did for us!
