COMPASSION

The GSF spirituality is based in justice and compassion the second one understood as the generous and merciful disposition to forgive, virtue that moves to heal. It is besides a kind, unconditional, personal commitment to be willing to forgiveness, oriented to include everybody, especially those who had experimented unfortunate conditions.


APOSTOLIC ZEAL

The zeal is vehemence, fervor and movement. It has two qualities: It is universal and does not admit differences among countries and people. It is persistent but not capricious and it is the same all the time. Unrest zeal without fear of difficulties
is an obligation for us.



JUSTICE
Justice means to include, injustice means to exclude. To talk about justice, is to talk about biblical justice but not about political or legal justice. In political and legal world, justice is equality, equity and rules. Biblical justice (Good Shepherd justice) means excessive generosity, kindness, mercifulness. It is not restricted to parity and rules. ¿How can the love be measured? The merciful love which is the basis of the biblical justice is a love that shelters, protects and accepts.
COMPASSIONATE RISK
One of the actions demanded by the spirituality of justice and mercy is to run compassionate risks (risks of co-passion). Mercy and risk: Once one enters the experience of the other person, one has to choose because many times one wants to go away and goes back to those places and surroundings where one feels secure and comfortable. Our spirituality pushes to suffer with mercy, to run the risk, to stay with the other. The spiritual answer impulses to listen, to remain with the pain, to take the risk and to offer the human face of love.

PRAYER
For the Good Shepherd foundation prayer is a ladder through which one can reach the heavens. A life in pray must be the essence of the working life.

One of the characteristics of the GSF is the great zeal for spiritual progress. Without prayer, without inside spirit, the work is arid, the efforts are useless.

RESPECT FOR THE LIFE
From latin “respectous” that means veneration, attention, reverence. Life is respected when differences among people are respected and this starts by recognizing their richness and dignity as truthful God’s children, when one lives life’s reality coming up continuously through the person’s diversity and expressed with kindness, love, gratitude and tenderness.
