Let us consider the desire we have for unity and how best to nourish it. Christ calls us to be one as He and the Father are one. He is the only Gate by which to enter Heaven, and thus He has established one Church in which all are to be united in the one true Faith. There is no unity without truth, but a sign of truth is unity. Hence it is one of the marks of the Church. Unity has great attractive power. We can only find it in Tradition and by submitting, not to the spirit of the world, but to the Church (her teachings and legitimate authority). We must strive to avoid sins against unity and work to build unity in our families and parish. Rather than idealizing self-will and independence, we must be willing to humbly sacrifice our personal expression in order to forge a healthy and holy society. Let us cultivate a real desire for unity as a good to be pursued and employ the means God has given us to nurture it.
