Koinonia of communion Koinonia of communion in the Spiritin the Spirit
Philippians 2:1-2
Thereforeif you have any encouragement from being united with Christ,if any comfort from his love,if any koinonia in the Spirit,if any tenderness and compassion,then make my joy complete by being like-minded,having the same love,being one in spiritand of one mind.
Salvador Dali, Last Supper
“Dali’s true intention, which he has masterfully accomplished in this painting, is to remind us of what is occuring in everycelebration of the mystery of bread and wine:that the worship here on earth makes present the realitiesof worship in heaven. The Real Presence of Christmeans the Real Presence of the Father. The COMMUNITY drawn together in recognition of this miracle---the Church---shows the Real Presence of the Holy Spirit,and where the Trinity is, is Heaven: unseen with our eyes,but sensed and recognized in our prayer.”
