Solidarity

When one member suffers all the members suffer.

Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.

When one is sorrowful, all are. When one is overjoyed all share in the joy. When one grows deep the others grow a bit deeper. When one strays all weep. When one succeeds all celebrate.When one is caught up in sin, everyone is affected.

It's like my front lawn, and my next door neighbor's front lawn, right next to mine. If one lawn has weeds the other will soon. We share the same weeds and grass. Our lawns are affected by the other's because of their close proximity.

It is like those in the Body of Christ. We belong to one another, we are interdependent and called to walk together in unity and solidarity.
