Love unites and never excludes. By choosing unity, peace, and hospitality, we give true witness as disciples of Jesus.

Those Who Love Do Not Exclude

Praise God by making the effort to build unity, harmony and peace within our communities. This can be done by always underlining all that unites us and setting aside all that can divide us. (…) This also invites us to extend the spirit of understanding and hospitality to all the people of other religions, races and cultural traditions we might come into contact with, for example, the numerous immigrants in our society. (…) As Christians, we should be the first to give witness to this spirit of understanding and hospitality. Isn’t this our distinctive characteristic, and also the task Jesus gave us? Didn’t He tell us that because of this witness, others would recognize us as His disciples?
