SPIRITUALITY
The spirituality of this religious organization, would be, sharing the divine love of Jesus Christ, through devotion and dedication to God, “The Eternal Father”.
We are called to live a life of holiness, and a life that is pleasing to God.
“Whosoever is led by the Spirit of God, are children of God” Romans 8:14.
“Whosoever loves Me, will keep My words, and My Father will love him, and We shall come and make Our dwelling with him. The word that you hear is not Mine, but that of the Father, who sent Me. The Advocate, ‘the Holy Spirit’, the Father will send in My name, will teach you of all that I have told you.” John 14:23-25.
The whole life of Jesus, was to do The Father’s will, for He alone can teach us, through His Spirit, to know, love, and honor God, as Father. It is through Jesus alone that our life has power to glorify the Father, and to bring to realization within us, His own enduring oblation to His Father.
Jesus’ whole life on earth, was suspended between two acts of oblation:
“I come to do Thy will oh God.” And, “Father into Thy hands, I commend My Spirit” (was animated by the Spirit of Jesus to restore the kingdom of The Father.)
