Understanding What is Right
Choosing What is Best
Understanding what is right is the first step toward
the abundant life. It requires the hard work of developing awareness -
getting to know God, others, and ourselves. Choosing what is best
demands vigilance toward excellence in all we say and do. Our hope is
life to the fullest, for ourselves as men and women seeking
opportunities to serve, and for youth and families seeking life-changing
opportunities to grow.
This vision presents life as a gift to be received
with gratitude and freely enjoyed. Life is, at the same time, a gift
that demands a response. We are all called to pursue good works and new
ways of living together in harmony.
