Paragraph:

2636 The first Christian communities lived this form of fellowship intensely. ¹¹⁶ Thus the Apostle Paul gives them a share in his ministry of preaching the Gospel ¹¹⁷ but also intercedes for them. ¹¹⁸ The intercession of Christians recognizes no boundaries: "for all men, for kings and all who are in high positions," for persecutors, for the salvation of those who reject the Gospel. ¹¹⁹
