The highest form of existence, of Being, is communal. God is communal. A choir singing at perfect pitch and in perfect harmony is closer to a definition of God than a lone soloist singing his heart out. If this is the God we worship, then true greatness lies in the direction of community rather than in self-sufficient individuality. We will find both the true meaning of being a person in fellowship.
Individualism is the way of limitation, diminishment, and death.
It is a unity that is sought by humans in their community with each other. It is anticipated and foreshadowed in their love towards one another. It is experienced in the ecstasy of joy and gratitude and in moments of mystical unity. Make us aware of the people in our neighbourhood who are feeling forgotten and isolated. Please stretch our compassion and show us the best ways to assist.
