Gospel: Luke 11:27-28
As Jesus was speaking, a woman spoke from the crowd and said to him, “Blessed is the one who gave you birth and nursed you!” Jesus replied, “Truly blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it as well.”

Reflection

Unity rather than division.

Paul reminds the people of Galatia, who are facing confusion brought by some who question Paul’s legitimacy as an apostle, of that one faith in Christ that is supposed to cause unity rather than division. Our faith in Jesus, Paul reminds us, urges us to bring unity rather than division. It calls us to build bridges rather than walls. It might be good to ask ourselves, “Does my faith in Jesus bring me closer to others or does it seclude me from them? In what way can my faith in Jesus bring me closer to others or be more welcoming to those who may not share my opinions or those who are hard to deal with?
