Our brokenness is part of what makes us human. It's tempting to want to find a quick fix - to magic away what needs mending in our life - but sometimes it's the broken places where we better relate to others, accept ourselves for who we really are and find ourselves drawing closer to the divine.
Christianity is really all about mending. That is what redemption means: mending something which is broken. Every Christian is called to share with God in mending that which is broken: mending our relationship with God, with one another, and mending the torn canvas of God’s broken world.
-Br. Geoffrey Tristram
