RCC Values Image 4 - Sept 2018.png

 

1. We value “EMBODYING JESUS IN WAYS AND WORDS”

Jesus began to do and to teach in His physical body on earth (Acts 1:1). Jesus continues to do and to teach through His mystical body, the Church. “Incarnational living” is God’s strategy to change the world.

2. We value “neighbourING”

Jesus became flesh and blood and moved into the neighbourhood, says John 1:14 in the Message. Jesus still moves into the neighbourhood through His people.

3. We value “DISCIPLE-MAKING”

Jesus said to His “first disciples:” Come and follow Me and I will make you fishers of people. Jesus said to His “last disciples:” Go and make disciples of all people. “Disciple” is not a verb; it is a noun. To be a disciple or apprentice of Jesus is a) to be with Jesus b) to become more like Jesus.
