POPSThe Church must be one St. Cyprian (c. 250AD) - "God is one and Christ in one, and one is His Church, and the faith is one, and His people welded together by the glue of concord into a solid unity of body. Unity cannot be rent asunder, nor can the one body of the Church, through the division of its structure, be divided into separate pieces." (On the Unity of the Church, 23) Tertullian (c. 197AD) - "We are a society with a single religious feeling, a single unity of discipline, a single bond of hope," (Apology 39, 1) St. Hilary (c. 4th century) - "In the Scriptures our people are shown to be made one, so that just as many grains collected into one and ground and mingled together, make one loaf, so in Christ, who is the heavenly bread, we know there is one holy, in which our whole company is joined and united" (Treatise 62, 13)

POPSKeep Christ Out of Christmas No wonder we had to dump Jesus and replace Him with Santa Claus. Jesus just doesn't cooperate. We can't trust Him to conform with our plans and customs. He acts like God. We're sorry, Jesus, but we can't include You this Christmas. If we did, we'd have to change everything, even ourselves. Prayer: Jesus, on this last day of the Church year, I surrender my will to You. Promise: His "kingdom shall be everlasting: all dominions shall serve and obey Him." —Dn 7:27
