THE SEAL OF FAITH is a guarantee of religious respect accorded to all active ecumenical and non-Christian members within the one Solidarity.
It ensures that social missions that serve and bring relief to our Lord's poor are given their due attention and proper significance in the life of the community.
It also acts as a neutral buffer that safeguard from hypocrisy and syncretism our active members who work in missions right alongside their ecumenical as well as non-Christian peers thereby preserving not only the integrity of our active membership but also that of our entire apostolate.
It serves to foster a deeper sense of trust which in turn help open the way toward greater understanding between Christian denominations as well as with those non-Christian religions who share with us, a common desire for religious peace and harmony.
This understanding is to be realized through shared service experiences built upon values that are truly human and therefore, truly common, all towards religious peace and harmony which is the stated mission of our Ecumenical, Abrahamic and Inter-Faith commissioning.
The principle of the seal of faith can be summarized in this statement; that "in matters particular to our own faith, we may only hope through the Holy Spirit to convince ourselves and to speak with conviction where God asks us to speak His witness in us but in sundry times, we will speak our witness by writing with our own lives our Savior's love and His peace into other people's hearts."
Sancta Sanctis!
Glory to God in the highest
Adoration to Jesus Christ
Peace to men of good will.
