“The whole world knows there is only truly intimate conversation between two or three. As soon as there are five or six, the collective language begins to dominate. That is why, when one applies the words to the Church, ‘Anywhere two or three are gathered in my name, I will be in their midst,’ one is committing a complete contradiction. Christ did not say two hundred, or fifty or ten. He says two or three. He says precisely that he is always the third in intimate Christian friendship, in face-to-face intimacy.”
