Rebuilding Community: Church, Recovery, and the Power of Togetherness
Community cannot exist without a common purpose and life. When we speak about addiction, we see it as a disease of isolation that is ultimately disruptive to the human person in his very existence.
What does it mean to truly belong? In this episode of 'On the Battlefield', Fr. Joseph Collins and Fr. Michael Marcantoni dive into the heart of community, particularly within the Church and its role in addiction recovery. They paint a vivid picture of how isolation acts like a disease, disrupting our very essence as human beings. But there's hope. Through God and the Church, community can be restored, though it requires a sincere life of repentance and rigorous honesty.
The hosts explore how sin impacts community, emphasizing the importance of compassion, understanding, and forgiveness in healing relationships. By the end of this episode, you'll gain a deeper appreciation for the unique community that the Church offers and how it can be a cornerstone in your recovery journey.
