**Although some of us follow a different rite, or are separated in form from the one unified body of worshippers we all seek and pray for, in your charity please remember that we are all baptized into the living community of Christianity, we are jointly confirmed with the gifts of the Holy Spirit; we stand in awe at the miracle of bread and wine, we are shared participators in prayer and together we have the common destiny of leaving this earth in our final journey home to eternity where surely some of us shall meet each other.
If the purpose of these discussions is to illuminate the truth so that all may see and share, then let us do so with light rather than heat.
It is indeed poor practice that in order to praise a Mass one attends, the liturgical preferences of others are disparaged.**
