Nazarene virtue: Participation

La virtud de la participación estuvo siempre presente en la vida de Jesús, María y José, desde el nacimiento hasta la muerte.

__________________________________________________________________________

The pattern of family life established by Mary and Joseph with Jesus sets a model for collaboration in mission characterised by acceptance of the Word of God made flesh and the plan of salvation, attention to each one’s growth, taking up tasks responsibly especially in times of difficulty, and participation in the mission of the community with the gifts and qualities of each one.

Nazarene Spirituality accentuates in the process of communitarian discernment an active participation in the dialogue.

The activities of the mission may be shared for the participation in:

·      The promotion of human values.

·      The dialogue between faith and culture.

·      The mission of the Church.
