Before Abraham gives, before he receives the blessing, before Salem appears, God has already moved. This is the pattern of salvation: God calls, man responds, and faith is brought into communion.

There is a quiet pattern running through Scripture.

While reflecting on John 17 and a modern ecumenical movement centered on “one table,” I found myself wrestling with an important Catholic question: if unity never calls people deeper into truth, sacraments, and communion with Christ’s Church, is it truly charity? The Church calls us to dialogue and love, but also to clarity. Christian unity is not built merely around coexistence, but around truth, sanctification, and Christ Himself.
