We walk in the company of saints. With those who love God, who are taught by the Spirit, there is no distance of time or culture or language. Our hearts resonate with eternal truth and friendship/understanding. The strength of one is the strength of all, for we are of one family in one Spirit. This is a mystery that cannot be grasped except by those who experience the communion of saints.
St. Paul said that we all drink from the same rock, that is Christ, who unites us. We share in the same Spirit, His Spirit, who has overcome in His own body all divisions and hostilities. He has given us fellowship with God the Father and with one another. If there are divisions among us, they belong to the flesh, not to the spirit (see Gal. 5).
St. Therese of Liseaux said that after her death, she would let fall from heaven a shower of roses. Look for them.
