The Evangelical Counsels

Chastity: Loving God with an undivided heart, radiating warmth and kindness in dealing with the young.
Poverty: Detachment from worldly goods, generous sharing of community resources, and solidarity with the poor of the hills.
Obedience: Listening in faith to God's will through religious superiors and discerning community needs.
