I BELIEVE IN THE COMMUNION OF SAINTS,


In searching for information on this phrase
I came to realise that no one really knows what it means!
Opus Dei see it as a communion of all Christians,
living and dead and across all nations.

If we substitute Fellowship for Communion (as some suggest)
the meaning becomes clearer, even if not crystal clear.
for we do share an affinity with those we meet
from any walk of life or nation.

Perhaps it also emphasises the key role of community,
the need to meet together outside the formal service times,
or even to spend social time together
immediately after each service.
