SS. Mary & Stephen's Byzantine Catholic Churches

The beauty of the Christian vision of life is its vision of unity. It sees that all mankind has been unified in the One who is in union with the Father. All matter, all creation, too, is drawn into the cosmic movement towards unity that will be the realization of the Divine harmony. This is not an abstract vision. It is filled with a deep personal joy because within it the value of each person is affirmed. No unique beauty will be lost in this great unification but each will be brought to fulfilment in all. In union we become who we are called to be. Only in union do we know fully who we are.

Fr. John Main, OSB
