What makes community life, therefore, is one heart, one soul, and having everything in common. Such a life is an earthly copy, so far as human weakness allows, of the life of the angels. Since they have but one heart and one soul and all things in common, there is concord and unanimity throughout, and they always put the general profit and the common good before their own individual convenience.


 
I will bless the Lord all my life long. With a song of praise ever on my lips.

Antiphon at Sext


 
They live not by their own spirit, but by the Spirit of God. It is he who leads them to be sons of God, and it is he who is their love, their bond and their communion.

Baldwin of Forde
