And looking around on those who sat about him, he said, "Here are my mother and my brethren! Whoever does the will of God is my brother, and sister, and mother." Do I truly want peace? Do I truly want unity? Do I want to love my neighbour? If so, the only possible path is to do the will of God, to radically and sincerely ask (pray) the Holy Spirit "What do you want me to do" then do it. A simple answer, yet terribly hard to do.

THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 22, 2004. From the Minister's Study Celebrating a week of prayer for Christian unity By Father John Johnson St. Michael's Roman Catholic Church, Blyth "In the early days of Christianity the Christian community was one, and while living that unity has never been easy, the early church stands through the centuries as the primary model of a community that could live in peace and proclaim that peace effectively. It is not so today: we are not yet fully united, and our witness to peace is compromised accordingly. Those who wish peace would do well to pray and strive for unity. Mindful of this relationship, the church is called to pray for peace in unity and for unity in peace." Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity. The theme for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is very simple, yet terribly profound. We all seek it, we all talk about it, however many believe it is impossible. What could it be? The answer is "peace." Why is it so elusive, seemingly beyond our grasp? Why does it seem utopian? It may be because so few seek peace in the right place. We cannot find it solely in one another, it cannot be found only in other created places or things. Surely other people, i.e. our neighbour, going for a walk or retreating to a solitary place can help, however none of these will totally satisfy or be effective. So then, if we sincerely want peace, where can we go? To whom can I speak? If we truly want peace there is only one answer. My peace I give to you (John 14: 23-31) The answer is Jesus Christ, the only Son of the Father. He is "all and in all" and only He. We must turn and go to Him, there is no other way. Is it enough to pray to Jesus for peace? This is certainly a good beginning, however it is not enough. Why, you ask? Because real peace suggests that we are truly, in mind and heart, brothers and sisters. I must love my neighbour for real peace and real love requires more than prayer. How then can I really love my neighbour? When told that "Your mother, and your brothers are outside, asking for you" Jesus There's a better way to move that old furniture...
