I am struck by some people who want to enter community. Their energies are so taken up by this objective that they are unable to hear the cry of the poor and to see those near them who need their attention, their love and their presence. Their desire to enter community seems to blind them. The best way for them to prepare for community life is to love and be present to those near them. Then the passage to life in community will come quite naturally.

OK, that says a mouth full. If you desire and long for community (living life with, among others) than serve those around you.... BE community! Seems like a natural.
