Persecuting One is Persecuting All

When we make one unkind gesture to one person, we make it to all people. This sounds crazy, but that's the truth. When Jesus told Saul that He was persecuting Him because of what he was doing to the early Church, He asked Saul, "Why are you persecuting me?" We, a people, are one. We are the one Mystical Body of Christ. When one hurts, all hurt. Just like any sports team. When one player suffers, the whole team suffers. So, let us not fight our own. There are people who we may not like and really prefer not speak to, but that does not dispense us from loving them. To love them is to love God.
