A22 RECONCILIATION
St. John 17.vv.20-26
~ "I ask not only on behalf of these, but also on behalf of those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. The glory that you have given me I have given them, so that they may be one, as we are one. I in them and you in me, that they may become completely one, so that the world may know that you have sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. Father, I desire that those also whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory, which you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. Righteous Father, the world does not know you, but I know you; and these know that you have sent me. I made your name known to them, and I will make it known so that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.
Up to now I saw that passage as a message from Christ that He wants us all to be one, ie members of His Church.
There is another way of looking at each other.
All people need to try to be at one with (ie at peace with) each other in families, neighbourhoods, nations, throughout the world, and it includes being at one with each other in love and peace, whatever the colour, race or creed of others.

Catholic and proud of it!
Talk to God before Mass. Talk to each other afterwards
