The unity of the brothers is a spiritual gift, Jesus prays to God that this unity be manifested among those who accept the Kingdom of Heaven: "I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me.
I have given them the glory you gave me, so they may be one as we are one. I am in them and you are in me. May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me.", John 17:21-23.
The disciples narrate how the first Christian communities lived this union, which is also communion, that is, the life in common and concord: "All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts.", Acts 2:44-46.
The bible explains that the disciples put everything in common, that is, no one hide his properties and what was shared, was shared with joy, no one suffered from needs, and those who command were the first to lead by example, command means to serve others: "So the last will be first, and the first will be last.", Matthew 20:16. This is the social life of man when our neighbor matter.

The communion is the ethical social order, it is the empire of mercy (kindness, compassion, gentleness), righteousness and piety (constancy, firmness, devotion, equanimity, stability) among men. And this spiritual union between the brothers comes from adult love, the love of Jesus (Agape), the love projected to the whole creation of God: "Love your neighbor as yourself", Mark 12:31.
