Coincidence or not, this week also saw the election of the new Patriarch of Antioch for Syrian Catholics, His Beatitude Ignace Youssif III Younan.
This is one of the rare moments when the Church demonstrates the unity that exists between the Eastern and the Western branches that make up its followers. At the end of the annual observance of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, it is also apropos that through this example, we should all be called to reflect on our call to work toward establishing peace with others through the relationships we forge.
