Purpose and Meaning in the Christian Faith

The importance of having a sense of purpose and meaning in life is highlighted through the teachings of Viktor Frankl, who observed that individuals with a greater cause were more likely to survive the harshest conditions. The Gospel presents a transformative story that encompasses creation, the life of Jesus, his crucifixion, and resurrection, which offers hope and a mission to believers. This story is not merely an individualistic narrative; it is meant for the whole world, providing orientation and direction for those who feel lost and disoriented. Understanding the significance of this narrative empowers individuals to embrace their role in God's mission, participating actively in the unfolding story of redemption.
