that house will not be able to stand

“If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.” (MK 3: 24-25)

Our unity is not a luxury; it is a “to be or not to be” condition: “If a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.” This is about our homes, our relationships, our communities or groups of friends. Unity doesn’t mean sameness or oneness, but the ability to understand each other and realize a common good.

“Our Savior Jesus Christ has destroyed death and brought life to light through the Gospel.” (Gospel Acclamation)
