What is our mark as Christians, as followers of Christ? We say that we are Christians because we share one faith. We identify ourselves as Christians by words professed in faith through the Apostles Creed. When the Church teaches that there is one God, when the Church teaches that Mary is the Mother of God, when the Church teaches that there is a Real Presence in the Holy Eucharist, we all believe these as Catholics.
The Lord shows us that His disciples are not only identified by one faith. His disciples are also identified by one morality of love. We become members of the church not only by faith but also by love. It is the kind of faith that we do not merely profess in our lips but also in our heart. It is a faith that is translated into action.
