The Community of Jesus Crucified has lay members, married and single, who are non-residential but bind themselves together to freely consecrate their lives in service of a suffering and wounded humanity. The joys and sufferings of its members are offered in union with the sufferings and passion of the Crucified Christ to the Father for the sake of the wounds of His Body, the Church. Members strive to live out the charism by enfleshing in their lay and religious lives the words of St. Paul, “In my own body, I make up for what is lacking in the sufferings of Christ for the sake of His Body, the Church (Col. 1:24).”
