What you need to remember

• Telos means purpose.
  
• Everything has a "purpose," including each of us.
  
• We all have a common "Telos."
  
• Our common purpose is to do what God put us on earth for. God put us on earth for "Union with God and others in God."
  
• "Union with God and others in God" means this: God first loved us. God created us to share in His love. God calls us to respond to His love, to open our hearts to His love. When we open our hearts to God's love, we can then love God and others in God.
  
• We are "created by God and for God and God never ceases to draw us to Himself."
