Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy he has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead (1 Peter 1:3)
We have received God's abundant grace, been born into living hope, and sent to serve in the love we ourselves have been given. Therefore, our call to ministry is to grow the grace we have received by giving it away, to live the hope that sustains us and to serve the God of love in everything we do.
