OUR SPIRITUALITY
The spirituality of our Community is centred on Jesus Christ and on participation in his life, passion, death and resurrection. It is helped by the scriptures, the liturgy, the doctrinal development of the Church, and the revelation of God's will through the events of our time. We especially treasure the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius as the specific source and the characteristic instrument of our spirituality. We are called to be open to whatever God wishes in each concrete situation of our daily lives. So we need prayer and discernment, both personal and communal, a daily ‘Review of the Day’*, and spiritual guidance in order to seek and find God in all things. OUR PURPOSE
Our aim is to be committed Christians, bearing witness to those human and gospel values within the Church and society which affect the dignity of the person, the welfare of the family, and the integrity of creation. Our community is made up of Christians: men and women, adults and young people, of all social conditions, who want to follow Christ more closely and work with him for the building of the Kingdom, having recognised the Christian Life Community as their particular vocation within the Church. In particular we recognise the urgent need to work for justice by trying to see our world through the eyes of the weak, the oppressed and the poor and by seeking a simple lifestyle which expresses our freedom and solidarity with those in need. |
