Key Concepts

• In developing our relationship with God, we develop our capacity to love and be loved by Him in a self-giving way. We learn to choose Him when we don’t feel like it or when we find it boring and we learn to receive His love through daily prayer and the sacraments.

• Knowing God better, leads to understanding ourselves and our purpose better. Taking time to develop our talents requires developing the virtue of discipline. Discipline in one area of life, is easily transferred to other areas, like choosing self-giving love in our relationship with God and others.

• Loving others requires true masculinity, femininity, and the virtues of discipline and chastity.
