In the center of our lives, of every day and week,in work and in the home, we live in a circle of our relationships. We know that problems are diminished and burdens lightened,by sharing them with one another.Decisions come more easily when we talk them over,suffering is lessened by the comfort of another. And whenever we meet in the name of Jesus, in the name of love, in the name of justice, he is with us. To preach his word, he sent his disciples out in pairs,for we do not live our faith alone. Like a river gathers its fullness from the smaller rivers flowing into it,we grow in faith from the faith and love of others. In prayer together, in sharing struggles of faith, in helping another in difficult moments,in gathering together to work for justice – whether in pairs or larger groups,we are engaged in the work of Jesus, the one who worked with and sent others on his work of God.
