Communion of Sinners

The Church is a peculiar reality. We sometimes call it "home," but if it is our home, it is like a gypsy's caravan rather than a house that stands in a fixed location.

God designed the Church, the Body of Christ, to be a quiet place where He can speak to us clearly and definitively. It is also an army equipped for battle, a pilgrim's tent, a place of refuge, an oasis, a road to follow, a motley crew of saints and sinners, a party barge, a hospital, a penitentiary, a sanitarium, a mystery beyond telling.
