life of the Apostle to all peoples. Faithful to its original inspiration, it is
animated by full openness to the will of God interpreted through the
signs of the times in the light of the Gospel. The mysteries of the life of
Christ and of his mystical body which is the Church, the sense of total
belonging to God in accordance with the Pauline expression “my life is
Christ” and ardent apostolic energy according to the saying “the love of
Christ urges us on” are the foundations of Paulist spirituality.

a) a basic aptitude for the study of and meditation on the Sacred
Scriptures, in particular of the Apostle Paul;
