Blessed Obligation

"Human community is the universal obligation to live fully ourselves and to live well with others." Sister Joan Chittister, The Rule of Benedict.

   

Many of our elders struggle to live in community after a lifetime of envisioning themselves as fully independent. One of the most important aspects of the of SpiritCare is trying to create a sense of a faith community within the community. The sooner we realize that we need one another, the easier the transition. God always calls us into community. To accept the invitation is to accept our place in the living body of Christ. We belong to God, and we belong to one another.
