Those Catholics who ridicule "personal relationship with Jesus" evidently#1728

The way I always explain it to my RCIA students, is that every relationship with God is personal, Him'n'you. But it is never so in an isolated way, since we are all members of the Body of Christ. Being "in Christ", we are also being brought into living, vital contact with the others Members of His Body.

1 Cor. 12:27
Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.

Tagline.

Bless you dear heart for saying that. I suspected as much and it's gratifying to have it confirmed.

I agree. Now if we could just agree that the "body" is not restricted to any "denomination" or formally organized "religion".
