Community
Community is the fruit of our common prayer and common ministry. While fruit can
be enjoyed in and of itself, its ultimate purpose is to fall to the ground, die,
and reproduce itself in abundance. In such, internal ministry is essential to
the Missioners, such as prayer groups, retreats, social opportunities,
formation, and intercessory prayer covering -- yet these aspects
of Missioners are engaged in for the purpose of strengthening its members so
that they may go forth in serving those much more in need than ourselves,
and are always in subservience to our vision and mission to disciple the
nations, “for the love of Christ urges us on”
(CCC 851).
[Constitution of the Missioners of
Christ; I.B.4]
