When we send this week of Christian unity , communion with God creates communion among ourselves and is translated necessarily into the concrete communion of which the Acts of the Apostles speak, that is , full communion. No one should be hungry in the Christian community, no one should be poor; it is a fundamental obligation.communion with God , made flesh in fraternal communion, is translated, concretely, in social effort, in Christian charity, in justice.
Regarding the third characteristic- the breaking of the bread- bread- Benedict xvi said that communion in Christ's sacrifice is the culmination of our union with God and therefore also represents the plenitude of the unity of the disciples of Christ, full communion. The pope lamented that we are till far from the realization of that unity for which Christ prayed. This painful experience, which confers penitential dimensions to our prayer, must become the motive for a still more generous effort, on part of all, in order that, elimination all the obstacles for full communion, the day will come in which it will be possible to gather around the table of the lord, to break the Eucharistic bread and all drink from the same chalice
Prayer has always been the constant attitude of the disciples of Christ, what supports their daily lives in obedience to the will of God.
