Today was the 3rd Sunday of Ordinary time in the Roman Catholic Church. The second reading was from 1 Cor 12:12-14 & 27. (This was the short reading, for those who care).
Brothers and sisters:
As a body is one though it has many parts,
and all the parts of the body, though many, are one body,
As a body is one though it has many parts,
and all the parts of the body, though many, are one body,
so also Christ.
For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body,
whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free persons,
and we were all given to drink of one Spirit.
Now the body is not a single part, but many.
You are Christ’s body, and individually parts of it.

So first off, I was quite upset that we did not sing "We Are Many Parts" by Marty Haugen. I really like that song and it has a really really nice Alto harmony part. But anyways, during the homily, our deacon was talking about how the Catholic is church is one body, etc. and how all of us feel each other's feelings whenever things happen. One of the examples that he gave was that of when people die each member of the Catholic church loses a little bit of soul. I thought of how Voldemort, once all of the horcruxes were gone, couldn't have lost any soul because he didn't have any left. And then I realized how horrible I am. But I'm sure that this isn't bad, right?
