As many of you know, I'm a big fan of the Star Wars movies. I recently saw the newest movie, and without giving away any spoilers, I was particularly struck by the intriguing suggestion that evil wants us to feel alone. Many things in our society encourage loneliness and isolation. Seeing the movie made me think about the importance of our community here at St. Benedict. Being part of a community isn't always easy. Other people don't always do things the way we would, there may be disagreements, and we come up against the imperfections of others. However, being in a community helps us to grow and become better people. Jesus organized his followers and established a church for a reason. We learn from the book of Proverbs, "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another."
