THOUGHT OF THE MONTH

Through peace, which is a spiritual bond, we can be more closely united with one another and with God to achieve definitive union in Eternal Life in joy and beatitude. To keep this flame alive, prayer is necessary in whatever form. When souls offer themselves for others through it, this prayer becomes a force of intercession that unites us with all our brothers and sisters. In the Communion of Saints, this unity is magnificently achieved through love and prayer for one another. This spiritual bond keeps us united with those who are in the vision of God and with those who still await that joy, and with each other who yearn for and aspire to eternal goods. As the Church, we live the love that is constantly given and communicated. We could not be the Church if we were not members of this Body united in Christ. Love is given and passes as if through veins through this Mystical Body, transmitting to us the life that is sanctifying grace. In this communion, we journey toward definitive union with God: all in the Whole.
