THE Communion in mission E d i t i o n

V a l u e s

Communion brings to mind the dynamic of association through which the first Brothers came to be united for the purpose of the specific mission that God had given them. The four dimensions of communion. It suggests openness to all people and the desire to be a brother or sister to all, especially those in need; as a means of carrying out mission, it suggests the solidarity and collaboration that come from sharing in one vision, one spirit, and one mission; as a goal of mission, it suggests the unity that comes through reconciliation between God, humans, and creation; and as a means of relating to others.
