Faith Statement:
“The Spirit God has given us is no cowardly spirit, but rather one that makes us strong, loving, and wise.” 2 Timothy 1:7
We as Prince of Peace Household acknowledge that it is only through Christ that we may overcome any challenge or achieve any feat. It is by this acknowledgment that we strive for the perfect relationship with and emulation of Jesus Christ as the Prince of Peace.
It is through this relationship and emulation we commit ourselves to becoming instruments of the perfect peace of Christ, reflections of His unwavering love and mercy, and servants of His Divine Will.
The Pillars in which we uphold this commitment to the Prince of Peace are: Sacrifice, Spiritual Poverty, and Trinitarian Love.
Sacrifice: It is by embracing the discomforts of the day, in accordance with his will, we witness the Lord and his kingdom in the smallness of life. But in the pursuit of discomfort we no longer passively witness God but we actively begin to seek out his kingdom.
Spiritual Poverty: In our humble search for God and his kingdom, we disregard the world’s view of ourselves but rather the Lord’s judgment; for Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Conversely in seeking for the kingdom of heaven we are seen as poor in spirit.
Trinitarian Love: is the love of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It is in this outpour of love that God welcomes us into community with him. By emulating this love we can begin to foster our community.
Only when we grasp sacrificing ourselves each day to the will of God, allowing ourselves to be meek in the eyes of the world in our search for the kingdom of heaven, and intentionally seeking the path that has been set out for us by God, can we invite others into the love that we share. It is only in committing ourselves to each of these pillars that we can reflect the Prince of Peace.
