Today's readings cover two related topics. The first from Nehemiah and the Gospel we find the basis for the way we do the Liturgy of the Word and why Communion follows the proclamation of the Word.

The second topic reveals why certain people do certain things and others can't. It is because there is diversity in the body of Christ. For instance, why are men and not women allowed to be priests? It is because not everyone can be an eye or a mouth. The body of Christ needs all it's separate parts to function and not try to be something it is not. God created individuality, not robots that fit a cookie cutter.
