Lord Jesus Christ,
I pray for one thing today:
for us to be made whole again,
for us to be one in union in God
in you and through you;
forgive us O Lord
for being so fragmented,
so divided with each to his/her own;
everyone insisting one's self
and many beliefs and views
often truncated and far from you.
Make us realize that in 
your life, death and rising again,
you have greatly changed
the way we look at everything
that was so fragmented before
but it seems, we have returned
to that situation again;
worst, many of us have chosen
to be separated,
to be on our own,
to remain fragmented.

Brothers and sisters: Since the law has only a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of them, it can never make perfect those who come to worship by the same sacrifices that they offer continually each year…Then he says, “Behold, I come to do your will.” He (Jesus) takes away the first to establish the second. By this “will”, we have been consecrated through then offering of the body of Jesus Christ once and for all (Hebrews 10:1, 9-10).

Like yesterday in our prayer,
let us put on your lenses, Jesus
so that we can see life and persons
in your light not in our distorted
and colored views;
open us to see more 
of you and of your will
so that "whoever does the will
of God is my brother and sister
and mother" (Mark 3:35)!
Grant us the humility and simplicity
of St. Thomas Aquinas,
the Angelic Doctor whose memorial
we celebrate today
that we may always turn away from sin
in order to be in union with you always
so we may have that peace
because as he had taught us,
 "from the union of different appetites 
in man tending towards the same object 
that peace results"
(Unio autem horum motuum
est quidem de ratione pacis)
Amen.
