A RECONCILIATED DIVERSITY in the same community “How good and pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together!” Ps 133 Couples and singles, women and men, from different countries and cultures, we have chosen the adventure of community life in the footsteps of Christ. Coming together in the same neighborhood or under the same roof, we experience daily that sharing multiplies. Sharing what we are makes us more brothers and sisters. On this humble journey of shared daily life, we experience the richness of the encounter between our diversity as it passes through the crucible of reconciliation. From this communion arise the joy and celebration that form the core of our community.
