Thanks for the article, Father Tarasie. This definition of "Bogo-human organism" led by Christ and animated by the Holy Spirit stuck in my mind - it is clear and reminds me of how we gather on Sundays at the Holy Liturgy, even if we are few. Do you think it would be good to talk about this again at the Wednesday night catechesis, with examples from everyday life?
