The words of the psalmist, ``Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity`` (Psalm 133), clearly present the beauty of the parish. “How good and how pleasant” does not suggest a command, like “Thou shalt dwell together in unity!” Rather, it's saying that unity is a real blessing, and results in blessing. This worshipping community can testify that living together in unity brings abundance of blessings along with it, as numerous as the drops of rain in a storm. There’s a spiritual basis for unity that empowers each and every one of us to move forward with kindness, hope, and a growing grasp of a deeper and indestructible, divine harmony. As we continue to accommodate each other and share in our gifts and virtues, we multiply God’s blessings. May God transform our hearts and homes into temples fit for His dwelling. Amen.
