Three Pillars of Formation
Intellectual"Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth; and God has placed in the human heart a desire to know the truth—in a word, to know himself—so that, by knowing and loving God, men and women may also come to the fullness of truth about themselves."
- St. John Paul II in Fides et Ratio |
HumanWisdom "teaches temperance and prudence, justice, and fortitude, and nothing in life is more useful for men than these." - Wisdom 8:7

Religious"From one ancestor [God] made all nations to inhabit the whole earth, and he allotted the times of their existence and the boundaries of the places where they would live, so that they would search for God and perhaps grope for him and find him - though indeed he is not far from each one of us. For "in him we live and move and have our being." - Acts of the Apostles 17
