Dear Fathers, Friends in Christ,
Acts 4:32-37
Psalm 93:1ab, 1cd-2, 5
John 3:7b-15
The Community of Believers Was of One Heart. . . .
So close to the Lord they could not fall apart, the Church of the present time is a scandal -- thousands of people who know best, each starting their own Church to present their own vision of Christianity.
Let us as Catholic Christians not just bury our differences, hiding them away to peek out next time there is storm or wind--let us kill them with love. Let our life for each other be the guiding way. If one is in error, let's not argue him right--let's live him right. Show him by whom we are and how we behave, what the right way is. Let us leave the movement of the heart to God and make it our duty to love unconditionally and unremittingly. Let's show the world what love looks like.
