Habits and Obedience

Reflections on the role of habits (“intersection of knowledge, skill, and desire”) and obedience from the participants of the Formator’s Meeting in Nairobi.A.  A habit: “For our purposes, we will define a habit as the INTERSECTION of knowledge, skill, and desire.  Knowledge is the theory, the what to do and the why. Skill is the how to do.  And desire is the motivation, the want to do.  In order to make something a habit in  our lives, we have to have all three.”  Covey/p. 47

B.  In the Congregation of the Mission there are certain habits which are deemed necessary;

                        *by our Constitutions and Statutes,

                        *by those in authority,

                        *by those in membership

                        **for successful living in the community.
