Community, where we share and grow

51. We accept one another, different in many ways, yet complementary. Each of us should take an interest in the life and work of his Brothers. We try to develop a finely-tuned awareness of others - a sensitivity of heart which is quick to see that a companion is troubled, and which finds a tactful way of helping him¹. Putting aside our egoism and touchiness, we accept with simplicity a Brother's admonition². We know how to ask pardon and to give it, trying to free our hearts from any resentment³.

In this way, our community becomes a place of friendship, of life shared, where the human qualities and the spiritual gifts of each Brother can flourish⁴.
