“The sooner we realize our predicament, that we are indeed lost, then the sooner God can put us to work for Him.” –Warren Rose, OFM
I agree with Warren to a degree. We truly are lost without Christ whom we find in our Catholic communities. Our Catholic church is the Body of Christ. The people are the Church and we the people of God, the Church, make up the Body of Christ. We are lost without Him, which is also to say we are lost without each other in the Catholic church.
But I also believe that Jesus came to this earth to show us the way. If we look to Him, whom we find in the faces and lives of the people of God, we have our way back home. We are found; we no longer are lost.
