What is our task in this
world as children of God and brothers and sisters of Jesus? Our task
is reconciliation. Wherever we go we see divisions among people - in
families, communities, cities, countries, and continents. All these
divisions are tragic reflections of our separation from God. The truth
that all people belong together as members of one family under God is
seldom visible. Our sacred task is to reveal that truth in the reality
of everyday life.
Why is that our task?
Because God sent Christ to reconcile us with God and to give us the task
of reconciling people with one another. As people reconcile with God
through Christ we have been given the ministry of reconciliation" (see: 2
Corinthians 5:18). So whatever we do the main question is, Does it
lead to reconciliation among people?
