We Form One Body

"The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a communion with the blood of CHRIST?  And the bread that we break, is it not a communion with the body of CHRIST?  The bread is one, and so we, though many, form one body, sharing the one bread." - 1 Corinthians 10:16-17 

(And the bread that we break, is it not a communion with the body of CHRIST?  Paul will return to speak of the Eucharist in 11:18.  This communion through the body and blood of the Risen CHRIST, besides being a personal encounter with CHRIST, makes of all of us one body.  We form one body.  This does not only mean that we feel united, but that the Risen CHRIST unites us to HIMSELF and, so doing, gives the community new strength.)
