God initiates a relationship with us. In this relationship, we experience God in our lives and seek to put God first. We come to God as a person and as an assembly. We respond to God in our relationship with adoration, praise, petition, and thanksgiving. We do this as a person and as an assembly. We do this in sacraments and in personal devotion. [Confer: the Letter to the Hebrews, Sacrosanctum Concilium].
God has made us into a single people, a people who acknowledge God in truth and serves God in holiness. We are a community of faith participating in the community of Christ. Together we strive to be Christ to each other, and with each other we are Christ to the world. [Confer: Romans 12:3-8; 1 Corinthians 12:12-31; Ephesians 1:22-23,]
In the community of Christ, we strive to understand who God is. In the following Holy words our “faith seeks understanding.” Our understanding is more than intellectual. It is learning God’s ways and living God’s ways. It is being formed into a person and a people who show Jesus Christ in our head (intelligence), heart (emotions) and hands (actions). [Confer: Romans 12:2; 1 Corinthians 2:6-16]
Jesus says, “For I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do.” (John 13:15) “This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:35) Because of the love of Christ in us, we reach out to others in love. Together we serve by being courteous, respectful, humble, obedient, and loyal. We appreciate the value and worth of others. We strive to be forbearing, patient, and forgiving in the face of suffering, persecution, and misunderstanding.
