Christian Unity....

We Catholics should pray together,” Pope Francis said in his Wednesday audience, “but we should also pray together with other Christians.”
This is a message every Christian should take to heart. We don’t have to give up our doctrinal differences to know that Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and Life. The most important thing is that we put Him at the center. When we do that, the differences we think are so important fade into the background where they belong.
We live in a world that is increasingly hostile to Christians. That makes it all the more important for Christians to support and stand by one another.

As time passes, I am more and more impressed with Pope Francis. His words and his actions show the image of a man in touch with and in love with God.

After first stopping to give a child a baseball hat to shield him from the sun, the Pope said
in an address this week, "If the head is separate from the body, a person cannot survive. It is the same for the church. We must stay intensely connected to Jesus. The church is not a cultural or political institution, it is a living body with Christ as the head. " He also stated, "We Catholics should all pray together but we should also pray with other Christians. We must pray so that God may grant us unity."

He noted that we live in a world that is increasingly hostile to Christians. This makes it all the more important for Christians to support and stand by one another.

From day 1 he has shown himself to be a unique and humble person. One worth listening to...
