Bear with one another charitably, in complete selflessness, gentleness and patience. Do all you can to preserve the unity of the Spirit by the peace that binds you together.
Eph.4:2-4
Paul calls the Ephesian Church to unity which is a sign of Christian maturity.
Part of the attractiveness of my local parish is the unity shown by the people. We are a community made up of people from all over the world, of old and young, of wealthy and not so wealthy. Yet, there is a wonderful oneness among us based on our common faith.
Charity, selflessness, gentleness, patience.... all virtues I need to practice more.
Lord, unity is the mark of an authentic Christian community. Help me be a unity maker in my parish and in my family.
Saint Philip Neri, please pray for me.
