We would vainly sacrifice our lives...

Unity is the highest peak of love. Therefore, our beloved Christ concluded his speech after the Last Supper with a prayer: “Father, may they be one, just as we are one… May they be brought to perfection in unity.” (…)
Unity is a serious matter… If it were not among us, we would have vainly sacrificed our lives to establish it among others.
