We find three wonderful profiles of the Church in our readings this Sunday each moving progressively deeper in spirit. We find the Church in its service of charity while having to deal with its own mismanagement; it's service in spirit to the world and its fellowship of love and finally, as mystically united, co-inhering with Christ, it's divine Bridegroom. Together, they make Christ present in the world, through it's very fallible members, you and me.
