Paragraph 5. THE COMMUNION OF SAINTS
953
Communion in charity. In the sanctorum communio, “None of us lives to
himself, and none of us dies to himself.”487 “If one member
suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together. Now
you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.”488
“Charity does not insist on its own way.”489 In this
solidarity with all men, living or dead, which is founded on the communion of
saints, the least of our acts done in charity redounds to the profit of all.
Every sin harms this communion.
