OUTPUT ASSIGNMENT Pre-Workshop Reflection "The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit." Galations 5:22-25 Which fruit of the spirit do you desire the most? Which one do you appreciate in others the most? How do you get these fruits to manifest themselves in your life? How would your school change if more of these fruits were made present each day? As you facilitate Workshop 12's discussion, ponder the gift of the Holy Spirit and the freedom of living by the fruits of the spirit rather than by passing emotions and sinful desires.

Here are some resources for this week's workshop! The Summa Theologiae: Question 18 Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics Catechism of the Catholic Church: 1750 The morality of human acts depends on: - the object chosen; - the end in view or the intention; - the circumstances of the action. The object, the intention, and the circumstances make up the "sources," or constitutive elements, of the morality of human acts. 1751 The object chosen is a good toward which the will deliberately directs itself. It is the matter of a human act. the object chosen morally specifies the act of the will, insofar as reason recognizes and judges it to be or not to be in conformity with the true good. Objective norms of morality express the rational order of good and evil, attested to by conscience. 1752 In contrast to the object, the intention resides in the acting subject. Because it lies at the voluntary source of an action and determines it by its end, intention is an element essential to the moral evaluation of an action. the end is the first goal of the intention and indicates the purpose pursued in the action. the intention is a movement of the will toward the end: it is concerned with the goal of the activity. It aims at the good anticipated from the action undertaken. Intention is not limited to directing individual actions, but can guide several actions toward one and the same purpose; it can orient one's whole life toward its ultimate end. For example, a service done with the end of helping one's neighbor can at the same time be inspired by the love of God as the ultimate end of all our actions. One and the same action can also be inspired by several intentions, such as performing a service in order to obtain a favor or to boast about it. 1753 A good intention (for example, that of helping one's neighbor) does not make behavior that is intrinsically disordered, such as lying and calumny, good or just. the end does not justify the means. Thus the condemnation of an innocent person cannot be justified as a legitimate means of saving the nation. On the other hand, an added bad intention (such as vainglory) makes an act evil that, in and of itself, can be good (such as almsgiving).39 1754 The circumstances, including the consequences, are secondary elements of a moral act. They contribute to increasing or diminishing the moral goodness or evil of human acts (for example, the amount of a theft). They can also diminish or increase the agent's responsibility (such as acting out of a fear of death). Circumstances of themselves cannot change the moral quality of acts themselves; they can make neither good nor right an action that is in itself evil. 1755 A morally good act requires the goodness of the object, of the end, and of the circumstances together. An evil end corrupts the action, even if the object is good in itself (such as praying and fasting "in order to be seen by men"). The object of the choice can by itself vitiate an act in its entirety. There are some concrete acts - such as fornication - that it is always wrong to choose, because choosing them entails a disorder of the will, that is, a moral evil. 1756 It is therefore an error to judge the morality of human acts by considering only the intention that inspires them or the circumstances (environment, social pressure, duress or emergency, etc.) which supply their context. There are acts which, in and of themselves, independently of circumstances and intentions, are always gravely illicit by reason of their object; such as blasphemy and perjury, murder and adultery. One may not do evil so that good may result from it.

Pope St. John Paul II is the patron of our school. Our mission is inspired by his life of holiness and dedication to God and His Church, especially the youth. Learn more about the great saint. Why JPII? Pope St. John Paul II was chosen to be the patron of the college because of his love for youth and his desire to bring the love of Christ to the whole world. Driven by his pastoral solicitude for all Churches and by a sense of openness and charity to the entire human race, John Paul II exercised the Petrine ministry with a tireless missionary spirit, dedicating to it all his energy. John Paul II celebrated Mass in Belize on March 9, 1983. By praying with Anglican, Mennonite and other non-Catholic Christians, John Paul II reminded our new nation of the unity that Christ brings to all Christians. John Paul II also proclaimed, “God’s design for a world where justice, freedom and mutual respect are the authentic expression of a civilization of love.” Pope John Paul II passed away on Divine Mercy Sunday in 2005. He was canonized on April 27, 2014. His feast day is celebrated on October 22.
