ASSESSMENT OF PROGRAM GOALS

1          By the exegesis of this passage, I was configured in the very being of Jesus Christ, head, shepherd, and spouse of the Church more fully due to a deeper understand what it means to be a shepherd.
2          I was placed both within the Church and in the forefront of the Church by understanding more fully the responsibilities the Church accepts for leading.
3          I hold the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience, and proclaim this faith in word and action as taught by the Gospel and the Church’s tradition, because I trust Jesus will not let me go astray.
4          I celebrate the mysteries of Christ and the Liturgy of the Hours faithfully and religiously, because it allows me to spend time with Jesus like the apostles.
5          I bring the faithful together into a unified family and coordinate all the gifts and charisms which the Spirit inspires in the community, because I must use all I have to help others no matter how small the offering.
6          I live continently without wife or family and love the Church in the total and exclusive manner in which Christ loves her, because Jesus gave all he had for his flock.
7          I use material goods lovingly and responsibly, care for the poor and the weakest and make myself available to be sent wherever their work is needed, because that is what a good shepherd does.
8          I respect and obey my ordinary as conscientious fellow-workers with the bishops and in solidarity with my brothers in the presbyterate, because they are shepherds, too.
9          I consecrate my life to God and unite myself more closely every day to Christ the High Priest, so I can be as a shepherd like Jesus.
