Description
These are perilous times, and people need to prepare themselves to navigate these troubled days by staying informed about their challenging environment, structuring their lives in a healthy way, and striving for a level of maturity that allows them to cope and live in a manner that brings stability and deep peace. People can arrive at a place of stability and purpose by engaging in a life that is patterned after the life and teachings of Jesus, called by the first generation of Christians the Way of Jesus. The central value of this pattern of living is unconditional love, a commitment to the truth and a life of integrity, and seeking a more just society that leads to a culture of peace and collaboration. People need to prepare themselves for this way of life by cultivating a deep spirituality that will empower them to thoughtfully, carefully, and fully commit themselves to the divine mission of love.
