COMMUNITY

For St. Paul, the Church, the community of all who have been justified in Christ, is the one nation belonging to Christ (Rom 1:16), the one body with Christ as Head (Eph 4:2-5, 15). The Paulinian contributes to the building of the Body of Christ, through the charism he/she has received, preserving the unity of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 12). The Paulinian is thus, a “community person” respecting tradition and the magisterium of the Church.

He/She realizes that each gift is for a different purpose, but all for the building of the community (1 Cor 12:4). The Paulinian accepts the uniqueness of his/her own talents, developing them to the full so that they can better serve their purposes. Yet always, he/she seeks the higher gifts (1 Cor 13:13).
