For he is the peace between us.
Eph.2:14
Saint Paul writes that pagans and Jews are now one body by the blood of Jesus.
Our parish is a United Nations, with people from every continent. There is a beautiful unity in our diversity, by our shared faith in Jesus. It is a foreshadowing of heaven... many different peoples, one Lord all.
The peace Jesus brings doesn't require us all to be the same, thank God. We had a Fijian choir lead us last Sunday. Hearing them worship my God in their language lifted my spirit.
So, Jesus, help me to continue to be at peace with all the different types of people in our parish. You are the peace between us.
