Sheen’s instruction on spirituality and the Church’s mission.

It urges readers to care not only for their local parish or diocese but for the universal Church.

 \nThe Church is not an organization;it is an orgall-ism.The Church is His Body.\"(Ephesians l/23)Our Blessed Lord has a human nature or what mightbe called a physical Body which He took from thewomb of the Blessed Mother overshadowed by theHoly Spirit.Through that human Body He did threethings:He taught because He was Truth itself;Hegoverned because He was King;He sanctified becauseHe was Priest and Redeemer.  \nHe said He would take upon Himself anotherBody.This Body would not be a physical Bodylike the one He took from Mary,nor would it bea vague social body like a club or a state.In orderto describe its particular mysterious unity,the bestword to be found is Mystical.The Apostles were theraw material of this Mystical Body.As from thewomb of Mary He took a physical Body,so too,fromthe womb of humanity He took a Mystical Body;as  \nHlis physical Body was formed in the womb of Maryby the power of the Holy Spirit,so too,the MysticalBody was formed visibly out of the womb ofhumanity by the power of that same Holy Spirit onPentecost.  \nAs millions and millions of cells make up thehuman body and yet are one despite their multi-plicity,so all who are baptized in Christ are His OneBody or His Church.As the body is governed bya visible head and presided over by an invisible mind,so too,thc Mystical Body of the Church is presidedover by a visible head who is the Vicar of Christ,the Holy Father,and by an invisible Head Who isChrist in heaven.As Our Blessed Lord through Hisphysical Body taught,governed and sanctified,sotoo,through His Mystical Body He teaches,Hegoverns and He sanctifies.Because He teaches,theteaching is infallible;because He governs,the au-thority is Divine;because He sanctifies,holiness istruly imparted to our souls.As St.Paul said:\"Hehas used Christ's natural Body to win you backthrough His Death,and so to bring you into Hispresencc,holy,and spotless,and unreproved.”  \n(Colossians l/22)  \nResolution:  \nYou take good care of your physical body;what care do you take of the Mystical Body,theChurch?You put shoes on your feet,though they arethe \"foreign missionaries\"of your body.Are youcaring only for your parish or diocese and not for thewhole Church everywhere in the world?
