We often view the spiritual life, our relationship with God, as a private affair. While in a certain sense that is true, in an equally as important sense, our spiritual life is communal. The prayers we say can impact someone else. The suffering we endure for Christ can benefit another soul. When we fall or we are struggling with faith, temptation, or sin, another soul, another human being, can help us through that. When we do sin, it wounds not just us, but the entire body of Christ. Therefore, our journey to holiness is only possible with the help of our friends. As we read this Gospel take a movement to pray for the grace to see how we have been helped thus far on our path to holiness and the wisdom to understand how we can help others.
