Within a Community of Apostles

82. Ours is a community apostolate. It begins with the witness¹ of the consecrated life that we live together. The community stands closely knit as one, and, in this bond, sustains and encourages the apostolic work of each of its members.

The more united² and welcoming our community, and the more dynamic its spirit of prayer and zeal, the more effective our apostolic work will be³. When our life radiates Christian joy⁴ and hope, we awaken in young people the desire to give themselves to follow Christ.
