This weekend I attended both a funeral Mass, a baptism and a wedding ceremony. I was impressed that, in each case, our church was such a source of strength for those involved. From the grief that was comforted by the Mass and the prayers of the church to the joy of new life, both of the infants baptized and the couple joined in sacramental marriage, God was truly present. There were no petty devisions which, if they existed, were put aside in the common sharing of life and faith.
What then blocks us from that unity in the regular daily lives we lead? How do we lose that unity in Christ that was so present to me this weekend? I would like to hear your thoughts on this.
