As regards to our salvation,
we remain dependent on other human beings…
Human beings are in a communion
of salvation and its opposite.
–Karl Rahner
Karl Rahner once explained it this way: Our love for each other does not just give us friendship and companionship here on earth, important though these are. It does something else too for us. It links us to love in such a way that when we stand before God and make our choice, a fundamental choice for all eternity, we stand there already connected in love to a community of grace and therefore much more prone to choose love and God.
--Fr. Ron Rolheiser, OMI
