The Catholic Church has given me teaching and guidelines so as to lead a happy and fulfilled life. They've been developed through the generations based on the words of Jesus and tradition (lived experience) and because of that I, personally, don't feel that I need to re-invent the wheel. |
|
These lifestyle guidelines that I've been given are not just for my benefit, but for the good of others too. They are for the "Common Good" and are based upon the universally positive values of justice, peace, truth, love and respect for human life. For example, they encourage me to put my gifts and talents at the service of others, especially those in need. |

What gifts and talents do you have, and how do you use them? |

As a child, this passage from the bible always confused me. In my naivety I couldn't understand why 'love' was described as if it were a person. 'It is not easily angered' – how can this be, if love is not human? This confusion lasted for many years.
