Our first reading from Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians tells
us that as Christians we are members of one family, God’s family; and we should treat each other as
beloved brothers and sisters.
In another of his letters, in his Letter to the Colossians,
Paul developed that theme of
our need to be good family members. When a couple grtting married
asked me for a good passage for their wedding I often recommended this one.
“Because you are God’s
chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with heartfelt compassion,
kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another and
forgiving one another. If one has a grievance against the other, as the Lord
has forgiven you, so must you also do. And over all these put on love, which is
the bond of perfection. And let the peace of Christ control your hearts, the
peace to which you were called in one body.”
