Reflection One: Unity in Struggle

“My beloved brethren, let us first learn the lesson of solidarity. The saying, a black ant will not bite another black ant, tells us that survival is built on unity, not division. In Africa, it is said, ‘When spider webs unite, they can tie up a lion.’ And in the Caribbean, we know, ‘One one coco full basket.’

This wisdom speaks of collective power. Where envy and rivalry reign, our progress is hindered. But like ants working in a single stream, we are mighty together. The apostle writes, ‘Be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you’ (2 Corinthians 13:11). So let us not bite one another but build one another.”
