The Advantages of a Community

Last night I had a poignant experience of one of the advantages of being in community:

Strength.

Mutual, strength.

I nearly broke my fast - but with some encouragement, did not.  On my own, I would have failed, but together, I did not.

I find an echo of this in our community with Christ - on our own, we are bound to fail to love as we should.  But through Christ, all things are possible.  Through Christ, even bliss is possible.

On our own, we fail.  Together, we triumph.  With Christ as with Each Other, de nunc ad infinitum.

Amen.
