The Five Goals of Courage
The following five goals of
Courage were created by the members themselves, when Courage was founded. The
goals are read at the start of each meeting and each member is called to
practice them in daily life.
- Live chaste lives in
accordance with the Roman Catholic Church's teaching on homosexuality. (Chastity)
- Dedicate ones life to
Christ through service to others, spiritual reading, prayer, meditation,
individual spiritual direction, frequent attendance at Mass, and the
frequent reception of the sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy
Eucharist. (Prayer and Dedication)
- Foster a spirit of
fellowship in which all may share thoughts and experiences, and so ensure
that no one will have to face the problems of homosexuality alone.
(Fellowship)
- Be mindful of the
truth that chaste friendships are not only possible but necessary in a
chaste Christian life and in doing so provide encouragement to one another
in forming and sustaining them. (Support)
- Live lives that may
serve as good examples to others. (Good
Example)
