This
is
where
faith
and
commitment
comes
in,
we
need
to
develop
these
dispositions
and
it
requires
a
lot
of
practice.
Its
not
just
overnight,
its
an
ongoing
process
that
needs
consistency.
we
also
need
to
participate
in
the
life
of
the
Church.

into

all
of
these

2. We
see
a
development
of
the
idea
of
commitment
and
ethics
in
Scripture
and
Tradition.
The
Old
Testament
shows
us
a
commitment
based
on
the
covenant,
while
the
New
Testament
focuses
on
commitment
as
faith
in
Jesus
Christ.
This
commitment
continues
as
a
part
of
Christian
Tradition,
manifested
in
different
ways
in
the
early
Church
communities,
the
reformation
period,
and
Vatican
II
onward.
The
idea
of
commitment
and
ethics
have
constantly
been
developing
since
the
start
of
time
In
the
Old
Testament,
commitment
was
based
on
mans
covenant
with
God
that
began
from
the
Creation
Story
when
man
was
created
in
the
image
and
likeness
ethics
of
recognizing
the
need
for
human
development
and
engagement
with
other
disciplines
Promote
and
restore
human
dignity
Last
point
of
Vatican
II
is
that
Christian
ethics
acknowledges
the
need
of
human
development
and
engaging
other
disciples.
For
the
longest
time,
Church
didnt
really
care
about
what
was
happening
outside
as
long
as
the
members
were
okay.
But
the
church
realizes
that
we
also
need
to
care
about
human
development:
do
these
people
have
dignity
or
the
capacity
to
live
lives
with
meaning?
We
need
to
be
wary
of
other
people,
because,
according
to
Gaudium
Et
Spes,
Human
dignity
is
crippled
with
extreme
poverty.
There
are
a
lot
of
people
who
cannot
do
good
because
there
are
marginalized
and
oppressed.
As
result
of
Vatican
II,
the
Church
began
to
insert
itself
to
the
modern
world
to
address
the
many
problems
that
the
world
is
experiencing
Nicoles
insight,
do
not
copy:
With
the
help
of
the
Church
and
the
gospel
teachings,
we
can
also
be
empowered
to
actively
participate
in
the
transformation
of
our
country.
All
this
we
do
because
we
are
committed
to
continue
Jesus
Christs
mission
of
proclaiming
the
Kingdom
of
God
and
because
ultimately,
we
want
to
bring
the
Kingdom
of
God
here
on
earth.
Our
ethics
need
not
be
geared
towards
heaven
alone,
if
we
can
bring
heaven
here
on
earth.
To
do
that,
we
must
stay
awake
in
periods
of
injustice
to
make
sure
people
live
a
good
life;
and
we
must
be
the
light
in
a
very
dark
tunnel.
The
social
mission
to
uphold
dignity
does
not
just
belong
to
the
Church
it
belongs
to
all
of
us.
And,
together,
we
can
build
a
better,
brighter
future
where
no
one
lives
in
the
dark.
