“So we, though many, are one body in Christ” - Romans 12:5.
A woman with a man form "one body" and thus they achieve the deepest communion. The Catholic Church calls such a union holy sacrament. Moreover, the Holy Bible begins with a description of such communion in Eden (Gen 1:28). Also, the ancient Greeks knew that a human person looks for the missing part. Yet, the modern world, especially in the West, focuses on individualism. So, we learn to act on our own. We forget that we live in a community to cooperate and embrace one another.
Apostle Paul reminds us that we are "members one of another". It happens in the case of close friends who decide to trust each other. Sometimes they can come from different backgrounds and places. But by the grace of God, they feel the unity of their minds and souls. They rejoice in the Lord who created them and let them meet. The communion between people grows "in proportion to their faith" (v. 6).
We
can ask ourselves: Is it possible to start a deep connection between people in
this world? The answer is: yes, it is possible. Can we achieve this by ourselves?
Rather not. We need the gift of grace. We have to stop acting in an egoistic
way. We must love more than to think about getting profit. True happiness is
serving other people. Yes, Jesus Christ, can live in you as well if only
you forget yourself for the sake of others. Are you ready for such love which
makes you one with your beloved one?
