“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3:28

It is important to note that the harmony, unity and equality St. Paul describes is based on Christ alone. When we base our lives on Christ, when our communities, parishes and society are centered on Christ – every cause and reason of hostility and injustice fade away,
“infirmities are cured,
wounds are healed, corruption is cleansed,
sadness withdraws, sighs retreat,
darkness flees, fog departs,
twilight vanishes, darkness lifts,
the night passes, alarm is banished,
evil is destroyed, despair is exiled”
(see St. Gregory of Narek Prayer 41)
