John 17:11. And I am no longer in the world; but these are in the world, and I am coming to you.
Holy Father, keep those whom you have given me in your name, that they may be one, just as
we.
Acts 2:1-4
1 When the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind that blew,
which filled the whole house where they were seated;
And tongues appeared to them, distributed like fire, resting on each one.

And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues,
as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Walk in unity.
In the Church, one of the signs of apostasy (abandoning, drifting away from the truth) is

John 13:35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.

That is the bond that makes us one in Christ: love, for GOD, for our neighbor.
But not a love of commitment or a historical love (the one that reminds us every day of that)
story that we want to leave behind, the one in which we did wrong and felt good.
We need a love that unites us.
I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism.

Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Will we dress?

you have need of all these things.
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
34 So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own
vexation. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

So, and in fact it has to be that way, shouldn't I then seek what God wants? Shouldn't I?
Should I also be seeking to love others as Christ commanded us? Love is the

Promises:
If we practice UNITY in everything with our family, partner,
congregation and community, the Lord will be among us to fill us with His
Holy Spirit, to give us of your gifts, and to receive what we ask according to your will.
I have already mentioned to you various ways in which the people of GOD have come together to
convert this wanting that ignites in our hearts every Saturday, into a daily action,
every day, hand in hand with my brother.
Because when we join our brother, in the day-to-day, in his need and in the

Reflection:
Are we walking in UNITY, united with our brothers?
The brochure: Our call is to pray for the Holy Spirit to touch the
emotions and the intellects of people, so that they open up to their love.
Let us pray:
Father, we love you, we bless you, today we agree with the brothers that
they listen to this message, to ask you for forgiveness for the divisions we have caused, for
our lack of forgiveness, peace, and asking you to help us maintain that UNITY, that
you want for us, so that you may pour out your Spirit in our lives. We entrust to
our partners, families, children, grandchildren, congregations, so that we can live UNITED and
United, we ask it in the name of JESUS, for the Father to be glorified, Amen.
