Several years ago, a young Hollywood celebrity caused an uproar when media leaked her email to friends inviting them to a Memorial Day party. Guests were urged to “glorify” the observance by “drinking massive amounts of beer” and liquor shots, while tripping about in risque clothing to flaunt their starved figures. In the textbook definition of an understatement, the hostess flatly admitted she “had no clue what Memorial Day means.”
Equally disheartening was the broader reaction to the incident. Gossipmongers weren’t put off by such boozy antics on a day set aside to honor war dead; rather, they couldn’t believe the starlet had stipulated “no girls over 100 pounds” would be admitted to the bash, and that she’d threatened to put a scale at the door by way of enforcement.
Jesus raised his eyes to heaven and said:
‘Holy Father,
but for those also
May they all be one.
Father, may they be one in us,
as you are in me and I am in you,
so that the world may believe it was you who sent me.
I have given them the glory you gave to me,
that they may be one as we are one.
With me in them and you in me,
may they be so completely one
that the world will realise that it was you who sent me
and that I have loved them as much as you loved me.
