Corals are the only animals that can be detected by satellites from space. In fact, they are tiny organisms with an extremely fragile body which are particularly abundant in the warm seas of the planet. But their apparent fragility is more than compensated for by their tenacity in building reefs more than two thousand kilometres long.

The secret of the corals’ success lies in their solidarity. The union of millions of individuals is what gives these constructions their spectacular strength. How much could we Christians could if we were united in one mind?
