A Reflection on Today's Scripture:
How magnanimous Jesus is! He unequivocally says, "Anyone who is not
against us, is with us." By saying this, He demonstrates the kind of
open acceptance we must have toward others who, though not in full
communion with our beloved Church, worship and exalt the same God of
glory.
Our loving acceptance of them does not diminish our faithful
observance of the Truth we have graciously received. Quite the
contrary, it should move us to pray as Jesus so fervently prayed --
that all might be one, as He and the Father are one.
In imitation of Christ, may we recognize in all who are not against
Him: fellow worshipers, fellow adorers, fellow friends of the One we
call Lord and Savior.
We ask this Father, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
