Grace and Generosity
As human beings, we are all flawed and imperfect. We make mistakes and contribute to the suffering of others, at times intentionally, but often inadvertently. We are all engaged in global systems that oppress individuals and are the cause of gross injustice and incalculable suffering.
As much as we strive to limit the negative consequences our lives entail, as individuals we can only hope to minimize the harm we do and offset it by doing good.
Because God’s goodness is infinite and perfect, the gap between our limited imitation of the divine good is also infinite.
Fortunately, we believe God’s grace to be infinite and unconditional. Having received God’s generous grace, we endeavour to respond generously and graciously receive the generosity of others.
In this way, we offer all we are and all we have to living Christ’s mission, as articulated in our five Mission Initiatives.
In the end, our generosity is not based on obligation or formulas, but according to what we each discern as our true capacity as disciples.
