dc.description.abstract | The diversity of cultures in the Religious Life becomes (is) a reality. Aware of this situation, the religious try to accept the differences according to the invitation of Christ to be one as He and His Father are one. This call is expressed as a universal vocation to Christian holiness and salvation and to find out the way of the holistic integration among the brothers of St John of God and those who are called to work together, as collaborators and benefactors. All these people, by practicing evangelical discipleship, commit themselves in fulfilling the Lord’s “new commandment” to love one another as I have loved you (cf. Jn13:34). Love for humanity led Christ to the gift of self, even to the supreme of the cross. Among his disciples, there can be no true unity without that unconditional mutual love which demands a readiness to serve others generously, a willingness to welcome them as they are, without judging them (Cf. Mt 7:1-2) . Transformed by the word of God, we are able to follow Jesus who was poor, chaste and obedient, to know Him intimately to the point of wanting to imitate him by loving God and our neighbor as he did. By virtue of their rebirth in Christ, all the faithful share a common dignity; all are called to holiness; all cooperate in the building up of the one Body of Christ, each in accordance with the proper vocation and gift which he or she has received from the Holy spirit (cf Rom12:3-8) | en_US |
