15 2,18 | The Mystery of Church Communion~18. Again we turn to the
16 2,18 | words reveal the mystery of communion that serves as the unifying
17 2,18 | a living and life-giving communion through which Christians
18 2,18 | are one with the vine.~The communion of Christians with Jesus
19 2,18 | Christians with Jesus has the communion of God as Trinity, namely,
20 2,18 | the means to achieve this communion: united to the Son in the
21 2,18 | branches" (Jn 15: 5). From the communion that Christians experience
22 2,18 | there immediately flows the communion which they experience with
23 2,18 | namely, Christ. In this communion is the wonderful reflection
24 2,18 | the Lord Jesus. For this communion Jesus prays: "that they
25 2,18 | sent me" (Jn 17: 21).~Such communion is the very mystery of the
26 2,18 | recall this mystery of Church communion at the beginning of the
27 2,18 | context of the Church as communion.~
28 2,19 | and the Ecclesiology of Communion~19. At the Second Vatican
29 2,19 | recalls: "The ecclesiology of communion is a central and fundamental
30 2,19 | understanding of the Church as communion and its concrete application
31 2,19 | does this complex word 'communion' mean? Its fundamental meaning
32 2,19 | The opportunity for such communion is present in the Word of
33 2,19 | door and the foundation of communion in the Church. The Eucharist
34 2,19 | Eucharist sacramentalizes this communion, that is, it is a sign and
35 2,19 | about the intimate bonds of communion among all the faithful in
36 2,19 | words: "The Church is a communion. In this context what does
37 2,19 | In this context what does communion mean? We refer you to the
38 2,19 | sanctorum communionem, 'the Communion of Saints'. The meaning
39 2,19 | meaning of the Church is a communion of saints. 'Communion' speaks
40 2,19 | a communion of saints. 'Communion' speaks of a double, lifegiving
41 2,19 | reality of the Church as a communion with its inseparable dimensions:
42 2,19 | inseparable dimensions: the communion of each Christian with Christ
43 2,19 | Christian with Christ and the communion of all Christians with one
44 2,19 | reality of the Church as Communion is, then, the integrating
45 2,19 | For this purpose ecclesial communion cannot be interpreted in
46 2,19 | psychological reality. The Church as Communion is the "new" People, the "
47 2,19 | established by Christ as a communion of life, love and truth"(
48 2,19 | and never-ending source of communion in the Church.~
49 2,20 | An Organic Communion: Diversity and Complementarity ~
50 2,20 | Complementarity ~20. Ecclesial communion is more precisely likened
51 2,20 | likened to an "organic" communion, analogous to that of a
52 2,20 | particular way on the organic communion of the Mystical Body of
53 2,20 | nature proper to ecclesial communion but also its aspect of growth
54 2,20 | of growth toward perfect communion, the Council writes: "The

67 2,27 | look more closely at the communion and participation of the

72 2,28 | human existence, that is, to communion with God and with all people.~
73 2,29 | Participation~29. Church communion, already present and at
74 2,29 | apostolate as a "sign of communion and of unity of the Church

83 2,30 | or the return to Church communion of those baptized members
84 2,31 | The Pastors in Service to Communion~31. The Pastors of the Church
85 2,31 | associations might grow in Church communion and mission.~It is exceedingly
86 2,31 | movement of the Holy Spirit, in communion with their bishop and priests,
87 2,31 | the great gift of Church communion which is the reflection
88 2,31 | the eternal and ineffable communion of the love of God, Three
89 2,31 | life of ever-increasing communion.~To be responsible for the
90 2,31 | responsible for the gift of communion means, first of all, to
91 2,31 | Thus the life of Church communion will become a sign for all

93 2,31 | mission, and mission itself to communion.~
94 3,32 | Mission to Communion ~32. We return to the biblical
95 3,32 | fruit does not remain in communion: "Each branch of mine that
96 3,32 | takes away" (Jn 15: 2).~Communion with Jesus, which gives
97 3,32 | which gives rise to the communion of Christians among themselves,
98 3,32 | nothing" (Jn 15:5). And communion with others is the most
99 3,32 | His Spirit.~At this point communion begets communion: essentially
100 3,32 | this point communion begets communion: essentially it is likened
101 3,32 | to a mission on behalf of communion. In fact, Jesus says to
102 3,32 | should abide" (Jn 15:16).~Communion and mission are profoundly
103 3,32 | other, to the point that communion represents both the source
104 3,32 | and the fruit of mission: communion gives rise to mission and
105 3,32 | mission is accomplished in communion. It is always the one and
106 3,32 | the Church knows that the communion received by her as a gift
107 3,32 | know and live the "new" communion that the Son of God made
108 3,32 | to the lay faithful, in communion with all other members of
109 3,34 | encounter and sacramental communion with him, and of an existence
110 3,37 | eternal life of blessed communion with God. For this reason
111 3,37 | themselves: dialogue and communion are rooted ultimately in
