Community of Jesus Crucified

The charism of the wounded Christ which members of the CJC strive to live is the “fleshing out” in their lives the words of St. Paul (Col. 1:24), “In my own body, I make up for what is lacking in the sufferings of Christ for the sake of His Body, the Church.” By their vows, members of the CJC participate in the dying dispositions of Jesus Crucified. The Community recognizes Mary, our Mother of Sorrows, as the model contemplative and chooses her as the first and perpetual superior of the Community of Jesus Crucified.
