Directional Statement No. 1: Spirituality/Worldview

We, together as BVM Sisters and Associates, drawn by grace

• into living more profoundly into the mystery of God
• into living more consciously our interconnectedness with all of creation
• into living more intensely our understanding of freedom
• into living more acutely and publicly values aligned with the Gospel

commit ourselves humbly, boldly, and courageously

• to participate and join others in profound institutional shifts transforming our congregation, church, and society toward a more just, inclusive, equitable, and sustainable world for all
• to engage and collaborate with those suffering injustices and a lack of resources for all life to flourish
• to seek conversation with and listen deeply to people with divergent perspectives, cultures, and experiences
• to widen our global awareness and connections
