Great reflection! Thanks, Joe for sharing what jumped out to you because it revealed an emphasis I had not thought about from this scripture as well. The Holy Spirit unites us in Christ in a way that should always trump our nationalistic (or other man made) leanings as followerers of Christ. This should bring great pause for thought as to exactly how we strive for peace and justice in the world. We are no longer separate but are one family, one body!! How we respond to and treat our ‘family members’ when there is (global) conflict matters to our Father and should matter to us! Like you said, since Christ came and the Holy Spirit was given to unite us as Christians we are under a new and different standard than the world, one guided by love and self sacrifice.

A lovely walk through the path leading to the conclusion that God created us all to love him, love each other and share our very different gifts. The analogy of many parts working together in one body can be applied to so many parts of our life – e.g the family and work.

I love my parish. I usually attend Mass on Tuesday just before my assigned hour of adoration. The pastor and the retired priest are Irish, the assistants are Mexican and Polish. The three nuns are African! Most Tuesdays I hear the epistle read with an African accent and the Gospel and homily from a young Polish priest who struggles with English.
