By Marcel LeJeune, Catholic Missionary Disciples - Humanity is broken, wounded, sinful, and messed up. It is also beautiful, redeemed, and loved by God. This means that every single community (this side of heaven) will be the same. Mixed up in both human failures and God's grace. This comes with good and bad attached, with no way to do it differently… So, what does Christian community look like? A big mess, with Jesus in the middle… Why is it so hard for Catholic parishes, organizations, apostolates, etc to help form Christian community? We are sinners… But, that isn’t the end of the story. We shouldn’t just settle for dysfunction.
