text: (Part two of two)  “For just s you have borne witness to my cause in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness in Rome” (Acts 23:11), meaning that just as Easterners need to shed some of their anti-Western biases, so does Rome need to shed some of their anti-Eastern biases.  Thomas Merton began to show the way.  “And I have given them (the Faithful in Myanmar) the glory you gave me so that they may be one, as we are one (i.e. one Faith in Jesus Christ), I in them (the Faithful, both east and West and wherever) and you in me” (John 17:22-23).   Liturgy of the Word, Reading 300, Thursday of the Seventh Week of Easter I.
