Life Boat Earth
That's the end of this homily.
Fr. Michael details the extraordinary "out of this world" experience had by the four Artemis 2 astronauts and compares their ecstatic view of the Earth as one unified vessel to Jesus looking down through history and prayer for all of his followers that we too might become one body of Christ.

John 17:11b-19
Lifting up his eyes to heaven, Jesus prayed, saying:
“Holy Father, keep them in your name
that you have given me,

and I guarded them, and none of them was lost
except the son of destruction,
in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled. ...
