The longing for true unity in spirit and in truth causes one to seek farther. One must follow the way of Jesus, sacrifice oneself, and take up one’s cross daily. This desire leads to listening to and learning from others. It challenges the heart to open itself, to trust in one’s brothers and sisters and put them first, before one’s own ambitions. That is certainly difficult. If the unity about which Jesus speaks and for which he prays is to be a unity built on truth, it needs to be both self-searching and reconciling. It makes amends for injustices and prays for the wounds and divisions in the Body of Christ. |
