\n<\/strong>Our attitude, at times, might be rejection. \u2018No\u2026 I am afraid.\u2019 Rejection because it seems to be in contrast to our aspirations. Also fear, because we believe it is too demanding and uncomfortable: \u2018Oh no, I will never be able to do it, better not to, a calmer life is better\u2026 God over there, me here.\u2019 However, God\u2019s call is always love. We must try to discover the love behind every call, and it should be responded to only with love.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>In these days, let us pray together so that Jesus\u2019s desire might be accomplished:\u201cThat all may be one.\u201d Unity, which is always superior to conflict.<\/em><\/p>\n
