In the unity of this Body, there is a diversity of members and
functions. All members are linked to one another, especially to those who are
suffering, to the poor and persecuted ---Catechism of the Catholic Church 806.
In today’s
church we do not see unity because of leaders. If we ask people whom they
belong they will say I belong this church, this prayer group and very few
people say I belong to Jesus.
Today
disunity between leaders is creating a opportunity to start their own groups
and call church. Church is not the work of man but it is the work of Holy
Spirit. We have to understand that Holy Spirit is the top boss of the church
and we have to listen to Him always.
We all as
humans have different parts of our body knit together to make it look single.
If our eyes say I want to stop functioning then surely we will become blind, in
the same way if other parts of our body stop functioning we cannot move
forward. If one part of our body is in pain the whole body is affected in the
same way one member of the church is suffering or persecuted or poor is in pain the whole church will be affected
if we live in unity and we will do the best to help that person to lighten his
sufferings.
In today’s
church we do not find people helping others who are going through sufferings,
persecuted and the poor instead they make fun of them and also gossip about
them to make their suffering worst instead of making better.
We have to understand
that people who suffer, persecuted and poor are masterpiece of God. Whenever we
find one of these people we have to try our level best to help them with
whatever we can or else any moment life can take a u turn and we may land up in
one of this category and cry. God is giving us opportunity to identify them and
help them, only when we are alert we will be able to help them.
In today’s
church people who are having fellowship with rich people more than these who
are having fellowship with the people who are suffering, persecuted and the
poor. Most of us consider them as our last priority.
Let us live
with unity so that Holy Spirit will work powerfully in our life and also in the
life of people who are suffering, persecuted and poor through us.
