The young man came to Mass, in the prison, every Sunday. Clearly, faith and a sense of belonging meant a lot to him. The day before he was released, he told the priest he would go to Mass every Sunday, in his local parish. About two months later, the priest met him again and he was back in prison. He greeted the priest warmly, though sadly. He told him that he had gone to Mass every Sunday for three weeks, but nobody spoke to him. After Mass, everybody went away and he felt so alone. At times, we need to be alone; the soul requires solitude in order to maintain its individuality. But, to be alone as a permanent condition is not a good thing. Human beings are social by nature. Of ourselves, we are incomplete. We need other people in our lives. To feel this need is not a sign of sickness, but of health. Our greatest need is for companionship. There is a lot of loneliness in the world today. Many people are crying out for companionship. The word “companion” is a lovely word. It comes from two Latin words, cum which means “with,” and pains which means “bread.” So, “companion” literally means someone with whom I share bread. Two people who have shared bread would never think of themselves as strangers again. When people invite us to their table, they are offering us more than food. They are offering us hospitality, trust, and friendship. We feel honored. The talk is as much a part of the fare as the food. Afterwards, we feel nourished, not only in body, but also in heart and in spirit. This brings us to the Eucharist, the meal the Lord asked us to celebrate in his memory. It is the Lord who invites us to this meal. By inviting us to partake of the sacred food of the Eucharist, Jesus makes us his companions and friends. In becoming friends with Jesus, we ought to become companions and friends to one another. But does this happen in practice? Nowadays a person could come to Mass in a car, and go away afterwards without making contact with anyone. Can such a person say that he/she has truly been to Mass? If we were able to go into the room where Jesus ate the Last Supper with his apostles, we would immediately get a sense of bonding. Here was a group of companions sitting around a table, sharing a meal. We cannot be in communion with Jesus without being in communion with one another. We need Christ, which is obvious. We also need one another. To be a believer, or just a spiritual person, in today’s world can be a lonely business. Here is where the community comes in. We are a community of believers whose common faith strengthens the faith of each individual. Building community is not that hard. It just takes ordinary friendliness. The first step is to become acquainted. Our parishes ought to be welcoming, caring families where the unconditional love of God is found and offered to all. The first Christians supported one another. They forgave each other’s offenses, shared their possessions, and fostered the spirit of community. The Eucharist was at the center of everything. It was the Eucharist, which bound them together and enabled them to offer a loving service to one another.
