“How very good and pleasant it is when kindred live together in unity!” Psalm 133:1

There is so much division among Christians right now for several reasons. People are divided over sexuality, abortion, politics, etc. We are called to be one body of Christ. We are called to love our neighbors and love our enemies. But, our human nature, and the devil, get in the way of our unity.
Someone asked in an online group, “What does catholic mean in the Apostle’s Creed if ______ group is talking against us?” My response is that we have to rise above that and be one body and love one another, even though they may not be loving us right now.

Dear God, in this world of turmoil, we need You more than ever. Please open our hearts so that we may all love one another and unify to do Your will. Thank You for always being our guide. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
