dc.description.abstractFrom the First Reading, we read:|| There is neither Jew nor Greek,| there is neither slave nor free person, |there is not male and female; |for you are all one in Christ Jesus.|There is not to be divisions. There is to be unity. And, yet, the divisions and the negative labeling and categorizations of people exists through-out the world. In Western Europe at this time we read about policies re: the Roma population. Here, in Nebraska, Mexican immigrants in a small town one hour from Creighton University are experiencing this labeling. Would Christ use this language in 2010? --|There is neither Roma nor non-Roma children. |There is neither legal immigrant nor illegal immigrant.|From the Gospel Reading, we read:|He replied, "Rather, blessed are those| who hear the word of God and observe it."|Do I hear? Really hear? How do I further unity?|I returned last night from a global microbial science conference held on the Azore Islands in the Atlantic Ocean where my husband presented his research. I observed 350 global scientists, bypassing national citizenships, ethnicities, languages, religions, gender/age/income divisions to focus on furthering their vision, i.e., an enhanced understanding of one aspect of God's creation - how extremophile bacteria and other organisms thrive in extreme temperature environments. By metaphor, those scientists are a concrete example of what today's Readings are about.|On our life's journey, may each of us practice unity behaviors with the other. We are called to all be one in Christ Jesus.en_US
