The Communion of Saints

By Benson

We lose much of the joy of our heavenly expectation if we do not keep in mind the communion of saints. Our nature expands by sympathy. Miserable victims of selfishness think to find joy in isolation, and measure the possibility of happiness by that which separates them individually from other men. It seems to them as if a joy was well-nigh lost by being shared. God be praised, it is not so. There is no true joy for man but what he shares with others. It is so in time and it will be so in eternity.—Benson.
