Reign of God (cont’d)
willing to contribute
to the common
good
examining the need
to respond to moral
issues in the light
of Catholic
teaching…
I have explored the
call to forgiveness
and reconciliation
and have reflected
on how this can
restore my
relationship with
God and others
…opportunities
to engage with
issues of social
injustice…
Church teaching

response… to
these issues.

made in the image
and likeness of
God…
