Praise, Respect, Serve

Ignatius of Loyola summed up our raision d' être in three words:

Praise, Respect, Serve...

God has created us to praise, respect and to serve Him...God cares for us and he wants us to live a real life. A life that matters, a life that counts and a life that is filled with joy and satisfaction. For us to obtain such a fruitful existence praise, respect and serve are essential:

Praise; being grateful to God for what He has given us...I believe it's all about having a good attitude, having a heart full of thanks for the little things that come our way. God has given us so much to be grateful for...life, health, breath...it's important for our health to take time to expression our gratitude to such a loving God.

Respect; God is God, He is 'Other'...Jesus taught us to pray 'Hallowed be Your name...' having a reverence for Him, the Creator...God has a great respect towards us, He will not force us to do anything, He is not a dictator but our Father who wants the best for His children.

Serve; We are called to serve God with all our heart. Not as a slave in servitude, but as His children, we are called to collaborate with Him in bringing in a better world...

This is our vocation

Praise, Respect and Serve...
