Does "bound to us" mean "giving to us"?
Context:
Thus, union with Christ consists in the most intimate, most vital communion with Him, in having Him before our eyes and in our hearts, and being so imbued with the highest love for Him, at the same time we turn our hearts to our brothers whom He has closely bound to us, and for whom also He sacrificed Himself.

In this particular lingo, I expect "brothers" to refer to all our male fellow believers. Likewise, "sisters" refer to all our female fellow believers.
When people are bound together, there's a sort of connection between them whether it is friendship, religion, romance, alliance etc. (I suppose that in this case we are connected through Christ, yes)
