'Because the Christian God is not a lonely God, but rather a communion of the three persons, faith leads human beings into divine communio. One cannot, however, have a self-enclosed communion with the Triune God - a"foursome," as it were - for the Christian God is not a private deity. Communion with this God is at once communion with those others who have entrusted themselves in faith to the same God. Hence one and the same act of faith places a person into a new relationship both with God and with all others who stand in communion with God.'
