Therefore, to live unity in the Church and the communion of charity means not to seek one’s own interest, but to share the sufferings and joys of others, ready to carry the weights of those who are weaker and poorer. This fraternal solidarity is an integral part of communion among Christians. If we live it, we are a sign in the world, “sacrament” of the love of God. We are this for one another and we are this for all!”
