UNITY

 

To be "whole" means that all parts of a human being; spiritual, physical, 
mental, psychological, emotional,  is united to form a "whole". 
Out of that word came the word "holy",  a holy person is simply 
an integrated person, all those elements are integrated into one. 
At that level, nothing contradictory remains in the person, nothing is 
hidden and hypocrisy is impossible. 
When I was called an integrist by someone in France, I felt honoured, 
even though I knew it was meant in the derogatory sense; integrist = fundamentalist=extremist.


 It is about unity


In this moment of  time we are looking into the abyss 
of dictatorship and forced genetic engineering,  
fascism is no longer something that happens elsewhere,  
it is happening to us.

Only by uniting can we stop it.

 

 Unity starts with the individual:
 

The unity of soul, spirit, mind, body, psychology, emotions;
all united to the will of God.
Since we have fallen from grace, it is a constant battle.

In marriage the coming together of 2 bodies of the 
opposite sex, created physically and specifically for the purpose.
The work of the 2 minds, 2 beings, is to undertake the enormously 
difficult commitment of pledging to overcome all the difficulties that 
their union entails. To love and honour God through the other person.

This is not possible by human strength alone, and in the 
true Catholic Church divorce is not possible, this union provides nearly 
always, crosses, which we need in order to grow in God's love.
 
If we are  able to accept suffering without automatically looking 
for a cure or a way out, we can use it consciously to unite ourselves with 
Jesus, who suffered like us in every way;
physically, psychologically, emotionally.
 
 
"All love craves unity. As the highest peak of love in the human order 
is the unity of husband and wife in the flesh, so the highest unity in 
the Divine order is the unity of the soul and Christ in communion."
Bishop Fulton J.Sheen
 
Out from the family unit we do our best to live in unity with the wider 
community. From micro to macro.
People, together.
 
In situations of crisis we know that people come together, 
united for a common cause. 
The moment has arrived again,
To fight the enemy, for he has unveiled himself. 

Jesus; true God and true Man, lies dormant in each and every 
person.
Still hibernating in most , starting to wake up in others, 
getting dressed in some, getting ready to go to work in a few!
