Last 7 Commandments – Love of Neighbor
The last seven Commandments embody love of neighbor, guiding us in righteous relationships. From honoring parents to rejecting murder, adultery, theft, false witness, and covetousness, they weave a moral tapestry of respect, fidelity, and justice. These laws reflect Christ’s command to love others as ourselves, building a community of peace.
First Three Commandments – Love of God
The first three Commandments anchor our love for God above all. 'You shall have no other gods' demands exclusive devotion, 'You shall not take His name in vain' honors His sanctity, and 'Keep the Sabbath holy' carves out sacred time for worship. Together, they cultivate a heart wholly turned toward the Creator.
Christian Call to Holiness
The Christian call to holiness is an invitation to live as God’s own, set apart for His purpose. Rooted in love and obedience, it beckons us to reflect Christ’s character—pure, merciful, and just. Through prayer, scripture, and the Holy Spirit’s guidance, we pursue a life transformed, shining as lights in a darkened world.
Life In Christ - Beatitudes
Life in Christ unfolds through the Beatitudes, Jesus’ blueprint for blessedness. These teachings—blessing the poor in spirit, the meek, the merciful, and the peacemakers—invite us to embrace humility, compassion, and righteousness. Far from worldly ideals, the Beatitudes reorient our hearts toward God’s kingdom, promising eternal joy amidst earthly struggles.
Life In Christ - Cardinal Virtues
Life in Christ calls us to embody the Cardinal Virtues—Prudence, Justice, Fortitude, and Temperance—as guiding lights for moral living. Prudence sharpens our discernment, Justice anchors our relationships in fairness, Fortitude steadies us through trials, and Temperance balances our desires. Together, these virtues shape a life aligned with Christ’s love and truth, fostering holiness in a fractured world.
Saints & Cigars
Join us on February 1st for a talk by our priests on the saints and the opportunities in modern society to follow their example. Discover how sainthood is not just a past ideal, but an eternal goal for all of us to strive for, no matter our circumstances. Learn how we can live out holiness through everyday acts of love, justice, and faith, and how this calling is open to everyone. Don’t miss this inspiring conversation about living a life of purpose and service. Fellowship will follow, offering a chance to connect and enjoy great food together. Donations cover a stipend for the priests, and help cover event costs. Donations not required. Tickets can be obtained here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/saints-cigars-tickets-1106683162129?aff=ebdsoporgprofile
