Jesus dwells among
the men and women “honored with the name of Christian” (cf. Lumen
Gentium, n. 15). All are able to meet him in the Scriptures, in prayer and
in service of their neighbors….it is becoming every day a more urgent
duty to repair the scandal of the division among Christians, strengthening
unity through dialogue, prayer in common and witness. It is not a matter of
ignoring differences and problems in the detachment of a lukewarm relativism;
that would be like covering the wound without healing it, with the risk of
interrupting the journey before reaching the goal of full communion.
-Blessed
John Paul II, Message to Young People for the 12th World Youth Day
Today
we conclude our novena by remembering the souls who have become lukewarm. Let
us pray our chaplet, bringing these souls to Jesus and immersing them in the
ocean of His mercy.
