01 08, 07 Christian obligation                   

It is not a matter of charity or good deeds. It is a basic Christian obligation to justice.

What we have to offer is what we have been freely given. We live with the people. We work with the people. We rejoice with the people. We become part of the people.

Our sharing becomes a journey we walk together towards liberation, community and a reaching out together for growth and fulfillment.

But we do not impose ourselves or our way of doing things. We are available, rather, to go wherever we are invited in the world, aware, at the same time, that we ourselves are challenged to grow through receiving and learning from those to whom we serve.

      Spirit and Lifestyle

This time of the year is one in which we make resolutions. It seems easy to read this passage as we go on mission and agree 100% with it. But this is not something that applies only to our formal two years or so of VMM mission. It is for every year, for every day, wherever we are. It is our MISSION in LIFE.
