One Body: the scandal of Christian disunity today

Pope Benedict calls on commitment from all Christians towards unity, which is what God wills for the Church. We can't leave it as something nice to have or something that God will sort out himself. If a Christian is one who is constantly (as much as possible) in union with God through Christ, then this oneness must be consistent all through his/her life, too. This includes our prayers, our actions, what we teach and how we live. Let us all pray thus that we may be one, just as the Father is one with the Son, in every little way available to us.
