It is easy for me at certain times to see everyone in the Church as part of the body. Then there are other times when i disagree with someone, or am upset that it seems inconceivable that there could be one body? It is at times like that that we need to be one body the most. Being one body isn't always easy, and the parts don't always agree, but it is who we are. In keeping with the body metaphor, its like if a person were falling down and extended their arms to keep from slamming something else on the ground. The stomach is sure happy about it, but the hands aren't in too good of shape.
The Church is one body, and much like a person it can be messy, weird, and have internal disagreements (like that lunch that didn't sit well), yet it never ceases to be one body. It may get bruised, it may get broken.
The most important thing to remember is that WE are in this together.
