I think that this passage had some of my favorite messages. My favorite would have to be, "If anyone joins you in my name, show friendship; if he goes astray, search for him." I think that this shows the bond between people who share the same beliefs as brothers and sisters. Just like in my church everyone who joins you at mass and prays with you i believe shares a strong connection.
Another part i really found interesting was about the saints. "The saints are those whom God has invested with the radiance of his love and aborned with the mantle of his grace; he set the crown of his joy upon their heads, and he put love for them into the hearts of his creatures." I dont know why i love that so much. I just do.

I really liked what you said about friends and how they share the same beliefs. That when a friend goes astray it is our job to go find them and bring them back. Friends help each other out and learn and grow and therefore have a valuable connection with one another. Nice writing.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you have to say here. You most definitely would feel a strong connection with those that you pray to God with. This may just be that to have faith and trust is something people so rarely do because it is so difficult to trust people. And to be in a building full of people that trust and believe in the same greater being is something very special and it can really bring people together.
