        A 
        Community of Love 
        We all carry a yearning for God in our hearts. We all live on earth 
        with the Holy Spirit within us and among us. We all are in community 
        because of that, and God yearns for us to know it and to live it. 
        God wants us to be in community with all its nurturing gifts and 
        its call to us to minister to one another.... 
      We live in 
        community, even when we go off by ourselves. Remember 
        the old song: "I see the moon and the moon sees me; the moon sees 
        somebody I want to see. God bless the moon and God bless me, and 
        God bless the somebody I want to see." To be in relationship with 
        God is to be in relationship with every person who is also in 
        relationship with God. And we do not need to speak the same language 
        or have the same accent to be in true community. We have only to 
        realize that we are all part of God, and to keep that uppermost in 
        our mind and spirit as we live and relate to each other.
