"How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! ~ Psalm 133:1
When I was in college, I joined a "crew" i n an eight-man shell with coxswain. When we first learned to row together i t was extremely awkward, with the oars slapping from side to side and the boat rocking. But after months of practice, we were able to row with great speed through the water.
Even though each of the individual men was rowing with extremely violent force, the timing and cooperation was so pe rfect that there would be no side movement in the boat. When rowing reached racing speed, the hull would rise slightly out of the water. There is poe tic beauty in the intuitive sense of teamwork and unity among men.

"I am the vine, and our are the branches. Those who remain in me and I in them, will bear much fruit." ~ John 15:5
A popul ar tradition concerns a Greek slave, named Aesop. Like Jesus, he used sto ries to teach people, especially small children. One of his stories is abo ut a man who had several sons who were always fighting among themselves. On e day he called them together and set in front of them a bundle of branches . Then he invited each son to try to break the bundle in half. Of course, none of them could break the bundle. But when the father unti ed the bundle and gave the branches - one by one - to the sons. to break, they broke them with ease. The father then made his point: "My sons, if you remain united, you will be able to withstand any enemy. If you do not remain united, any enemy will be able to defeat you." ~ Mark Link, S.J.< br> How am I contributing to the unity of the Council?

Robert E. Sherwood was a speechwriter for Presi dent Franklin Roosevelt. He also won the Pulitzer Prize in drama three time s. On on e occasion - mustering all the drama at his command - he said we m ust dedicate ourselves to two objectives: the achievement of world peace an d the affirmation of the right of every person to live as the image of God. He added, "To those who say that these unlimited objectives are unthinkab le, impossible, let us reply that it is the alternative to them which is unthinkable, impossible."
He concluded by calling upon America to d edicate itself to the achievement of these unlimited objectives as boldly a nd as confidently as our forefathers, "who proved that.... nothing underta ken by free men and free women is impossible." ~ Mark Link, S.J.
