The Catholic Advance is a spiritual family. Like any family, membership is not primarily based on activity, on “what you do.” It goes deeper. It is a question of identity, of a relationship created by God. Our belonging to the Movement, therefore, is not a function of how much we do as a member, but how deeply we identify with its mission and spirit. Likewise, just as our participation at Mass is not based on how loudly we sing or what active role we have in it, but rather on how closely we are united to Christ who offers Himself to the Father in the Eucharist, so too our participation in the Catholic Advance is not primarily gauged by how many events we attend or apostolates we take part in, but by how deeply we live the spirituality and principles of the Movement.
