Husband and wife: mirrors of Christ and the Church The Church is a picture of God.  But a way to explain it is through the love that is happening between the husband and wife.  It is so sad to see wounded relationships today. The picture of the husband and wife is the exact picture of Christ and the Church.  The relationship of husband and wife is governed by love, obedience and unity.  These three should also be the qualities of a living Church - with members totally united to God in Spirit and Truth; it totally abides to God's commands in Jesus Christ; and it is governed in every way by faithful love.  If we want to know what Church means, reflect on the love of husband and wife and their relationship to God.

Comunio What is Comunio?  Comunio or Koinonia means "fellowship, sharing in common, communion".  Such is God's will to save us and enable us to be His adopted sons and daughters in Jesus Christ.  he wants us to be in communion with Him.  What are the qualities of Comunio? Comunio destroyed alienation and makes us friends.  Comunio made us citizens with the rights of children.  Comunio made us part of the building of Christ's body. We need to destroy any vestige of sin that alienates us from one another.  We need to destroy the structures of sin that separates us from one another.  We need to create a world where we become the living body of Christ, contributing every time, talent, and treasure to serve God and others.  Grant that as Catholics, we may participate actively in building Christ's body by becoming instruments of communion to others and most of all, to God whom we offer our very lives.

No compromise I believe that this is the glimpse of the beatific vision - to see Jesus for who He really is for us as One sent by the Father and how he brings healing to a world wounded by sin and division. Must we continue compromising the Lord's values just because we think it to be pleasurable or it would give us more money or power? If we know who Jesus really is for us, we would give ourselves totally to serve him.
