The mission of CLC is help one another discover and live out our personal vocations by building a community of friends in the Lord, finding God in all things, and becoming a person with and for others.
I. Community: Building a Community of “Friends in the Lord”
I will try to open my heart to my small CLC group by:
- Trust – I will share with members in my group honestly about what is happening in my life.
- Openness – I will receive and accept as gifts the things that my group members share, respect different points of view, and actively listen to everyone.
- Confidentiality – I will keep what others share within the group and trust what I share will also be kept in confidence.
- Regular attendance – I will attend all group meetings and/or notify my group leaders whenever I cannot attend to a meeting.
- Building Community - I will participate in campus-wide CLC events (such as Adoration, retreat, Barbeques, service immersions, etc)
II. Spirituality: Finding God in all things
I will be attentive to my relationship with God/Christ. This means taking the time:
- to pray with Ignatian Awareness Examen on a regular basis.
- to attend Sunday Mass/ Worship.
- to attend a spiritual retreat once a year (as a retreatant).
- to grow in knowledge of Ignatian spirituality as the heart of the CLC charism.
III. Service: Becoming a Person with and for Others
I will strive to give of myself, in order to deepen my spirituality of being sent. This can be done through the following:
- regular service/outreach to others, especially those most in need;
- raise greater awareness of justice issues locally, nationally, and worldwide;
- reach out, at least once a quarter with my group, to serve and stand in solidarity with the poor, marginalized, or outcast.
