I find that there can be quarrels and there can be contention and there can be struggling. But if Mother speaks, or Mother acts, or at least if there's even a conception that Mother wants us to work this out . . . I've seen this first hand, that people who thought they could never talk to a Catholic, or they could never talk to a Protestant, or they could never walk into an Orthodox Church . . . suddenly are giving the Kiss of Peace to their fellow brothers and sisters and it's all because they have a sense of the Mother.
