redemption of our bodies

Tuesday, October 27, 2009 
Weekday
First Reading:
Psalm:
Gospel:
Romans 8:18-25
Psalm 126:1-6
Luke 13:18-21

Romans 8:23  and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

Jesus was raised from the dead and came in the flesh, that is a body.  This is a required belief of the Christian faith, that Jesus came in the flesh.  Here Paul talks about the redemption of our “bodies”.  Not just our souls.  We must believe, even though we can’t see it, the redemption of our bodies.

Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to believe in the miracles that you do especially the redemption of our bodies.

Amen
