There was once a small monastery, a community rather down at heel that was thinking of disbanding. Then one night the abbot had a vision in prayer. The revelation was simple and short: "One of your number is the Messiah."
He shared his vision with the rest of the community. And from that day onwards, things started to change because when each was with another member of the community they would think "Perhaps this one is the One".
So they began to treat one another with great love and care and respect. When they got up in the morning and looked in the mirror they thought "Perhaps I am the One" so they began to treat themselves with great love and care and respect. And so the community began to grow; people from far and wide came to join and soon the community that had been dying came to thrive, grow and prosper.
