    None of us is entirely happy with the thought of being a prisoner of a servant.

    These are words which have few honorable associations with us.

     So what is the mystery which Christ proclaims ?

    It is precisely the liberty we most desire, a liberty which is a mystery or infinite treasure because it makes us all members of the body of Christ.

    In Christ, we are offered the true equality of belonging.

    These days it is very difficult for people to feel that they belong to anything.

    We are deeply scarred by the kinds of greed or apathy which set whole communities against each other.

    Let us pray for global healing between nations which have made servants of each other and prisoners of debt; let us pray for world unity.
