Our Basic Core of Goodness

 

The fundamental goodness of human nature, like the mystery of the Trinity, Grace, and the Incarnation, is an essential element of Christian faith.

​

Our basic core of goodness is our true Self. Its center of gravity is God. The acceptance of our basic goodness is a quantum leap in the spiritual journey.

​

This basic core of goodness is capable of unlimited development, indeed of becoming transformed in Christ.
