OF ONE HEART AND MIND

Altar Servers Meghan, Emma & Matthew Bush
Reading about the faith of the early Christian
believers can be a real inspiration to those of us
who have been Christians for a long time, as
well as for those who are newly baptized. Can
you imagine people of this world being “of one
heart and mind” as was the first community of
believers? Today’s First Letter of John seems to
hold the key to how this can be accomplished.
Keeping God’s commandments and loving all
of God’s children seems to be the start of being
“of one heart and mind.” We live in a world that
stresses differences—differences among religions, among races, between genders, and among
economic classes. Today we are summoned to
focus on what we all share in common on this
fragile planet of ours.
