“So many past controversies between Christians can be overcome when we put aside all polemical or apologetic approaches, and seek instead to grasp more fully what unites us, namely, our call to share in the mystery of the Father’s love revealed to us by the Son through the Holy Spirit.” ...

This is what the post was about! Please read it! Don’t you have something in your heart to give God gratitude, love, thanks, my Lord, other Christians are being killed for their Faith by others who hate Christianity. Be grateful for the life God gave you that brought you to Jesus! This is about what we have in common!
