| As the Holy Trinity, our God is One Being, although Three Persons, so, likewise, we ourselves must be one. As our God is indivisible, we also must be indivisible, as though we were one man, one mind, one will, one heart, one goodness, without the smallest admixture of malice - in a word, one pure love, as God is Love. "That they may be one, even as We are One" (John 17:22).
Righteous John, Wonderworker of Kronstadt

| I like these words. It seems to me that the main point is not to forget that we are created in the image of God. And I like the idea that a person should be indivisible, that our mind and heart should follow the same direction. So to speak, there should be harmony in a person. Sometimes we face such situations, when you feel one way, but with your mind you realize that you should do something completely different, and this is always a very difficult thing to experience. Righteous John also talks about love. Vladimir Orlov's poem "Я узнал, что у меня есть огромная семья" came to my mind, which is precisely about loving the whole world. I think loving and transmitting love to the world is very important. There are so many terrible things going on around us, and love is the force that kills evil.

| God is one, and He is love, although He might reveal Himself in innumerable different ways. He is everywhere and fills all things. So everything which is God’s is sanctified by Him, full of His divine Love.
Likewise we should do everything, whatever it is, with love and with remembrance of God.
Teach me, my God and King,
In all things Thee to see,
And what I do in anything
To do it as for Thee. (The Elixir by George Herbert)
We should ask God to help us to live according His Will, ask Him to replenish our souls with His divine Grace.

| Our mind, spirit and soul are indivisible from each other, which means that if one of the three components suffers, the whole will suffer, and vice versa - if rest, peace and love are observed in the soul, the spirit and mind will be at peace and calm too. And in God we can find that very peace and unconditional love.

| "That they may be one, even as We are One" (John 17:22).
Christ calls upon us to unite in love and like-mindedness. The Eucharist, Holy Communion, is the Sacrament of union in love and an image of common life-to-come. All who is true to God will be with Him in the Kingdom of Heaven - together, forever. And that heavenly union starts here on earth with the Church, with the Holy Eucharist, with love between me and my neighbor.

| I absolutely love the words of Righteous John, Wonderworker of Kronstadt. I believe that evil stems from ambiguity - it may appear in the inner “gap” (as I call it), for instance, while choosing between this or that. It seems one won’t find room for sin in “harmony”. And harmony is being “indivisible”, “one man, one mind, one heart, one goodness”, as Righteous John puts it.

| I agree with this quote. The idea of the importance of unity and integrity in the Christian faith is familiar and close to me. The author compares the unity of the Holy Trinity with how believers should be the only and inseparable ones. I think it is really important for a Christian to strive for unity and integrity in faith, in the very soul and thoughts. We must strive for inseparability in our efforts, thoughts, will and heart, trying to avoid malice, anger or selfishness. Our main goal is to be united in pure love, because God is Love.

| I really like this quote from Righteous John, Wonderworker of Kronstadt. In my opinion, this statement teaches us that hypocrisy is unacceptable. The entire human being: his will, mind and heart must sincerely desire good for other people and create it. After all, if a person, for example, steals money from the budget of hospitals or schools because he was “advised” to do so by higher management and he “had no choice,” but at the same time he thinks: “Well, of course, I am against corruption, this is very bad,” then this person is hypocritical. We must try to want and do good, do what is right and love other people without hypocrisy, even if it is difficult for us.

| I believe that being united as one is a challenging task for humans. We have many small differences that make this challenge even more difficult. However, if we try to be more kind and pay more attention to others, we can truly unite in love, a love for God.
This quotation also made me think about married couples. They are truly one flesh and one spirit. They are like one person, a unity. I believe that marriage symbolizes the idea that people can become one unity.

| The main point of these words is to remember that we are created in the image of God. If God is indivisible, we also should be indivisible. We should do good things, not bad ones. The last words remind me of the words of John Donne: "No man is an island entire of itself". We need to have harmony inside us, that's true, but also we should be one, not alone. We must accept the fact, that all humans are brothers and start loving each other, helping each other to become closer to God and Heaven. Our main goal is to be with God.

| I absolutely agree with this quote from Righteous John. It is always hard for me to imagine that God is one and yet three. I think it is impossible for the human mind to even think about it, but we should always believe.
Unity - is the most important thing for Christians on this earth. As we can see with all the wars and troubles - it can be very hard to follow this kind of lifestyle. We should never forget that the key to unity is love. When we love others, we break down all barriers. God's love makes everything better and we should spread this love to others every day. To make this happen, you should start with the people closest to you - your family; peace in the world starts with your own life. Instead of judging others, always focus on your own behaviour and what you can improve.
In conclusion, the unity of humanity in our world is almost impossible. But we should always remember the key - love. Starting with ourselves and our families.

| I really liked the words of Righteous John. It appears to me that all the commandments of God are expressed in this quote. Love lives in every person and we are united because of this feeling. All people are created in the image and likeness of God and our main goal should be the desire to become like God. This way we will be able to achieve the unity that John of Kronstadt speaks about.
It seems to me that we can find an example of such indivisibility on earth in the Orthodox monasteries. Monks there are trying to live in unity with each other and God. This is probably why, when you visit monasteries, you especially feel the grace and presence of God.
