I know that what I am asking is impossible. But in our time, as in every time, the impossible is the least that one can demand. —James Baldwin

Let them become the body of Christ

“The faithful come to see and know the body of Christ, if they do not neglect to be the body of Christ. Let them become the body of Christ, if they wish to live according to Christ’s spirit.—Norunt fideles corpus Christi, si corpus Christi esse non negligant. Fiant corpus Christi, si volunt vivere de spiritu Christi.

—St. Augustine, Tractates on the Gospel of John, tr. 26, 13.
