CALL TO FAMILY COMMUNITY AND PARTICIPATION  The Human Community Inspired from the Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church  we live in a community. No man is an island. Community, is common unity. There's something that unites us. BBM cries for unity. But, for unity to happen, there must be sacrifice.  Bo Sanchez said If you want unity in the family, hindi puwedeng parating KKB. (Kanya-kanyang bayad, or each person paying equally.) KKB doesn’t work. Fairness does not work. Only favor — for them — does. If you insist on equality, believe me, everyone will be in fight mode, guarding each crumb. Do you want unity? Kailangang lugi ka at lamang sila. (You have to take the short end of the stick and let them have the bigger share.) THE PERSON AND SOCIETY In what does the social dimension of man consist? THE COMMUNAL CHARACTER OF THE HUMAN VOCATION  salvation is something personal. Yes, but, it's also communal. That's why, "God has, however, willed to make men holy and save them, not as individuals without any bond or link between them, but rather to make them into a people who might acknowledge him and serve him in holiness ( Lumen Gentium #9)  Together with the personal call to beatitude, the human person has a communal dimension as an essential component of his nature and vocation. - This vocation takes a personal form since each of us is called to enter into the divine beatitude; it also concerns the human community as a whole.  Indeed, all are called to the same end, God himself. There is a certain resemblance between the communion of the divine Persons and the fraternity that people are to establish among themselves in truth and love. Love of neighbor is inseparable from love for God.  The human person needs to live in society. Society is not for him an extraneous addition but a requirement of his nature. Through the exchange with others, mutual service and dialogue with his brethren, man develops his potential; he thus responds to his vocation.  A society is a group of persons bound together organically by a principle of unity that goes beyond each one of them.  As an assembly that is at once visible and spiritual, a society endures through time: it gathers up the past and prepares for the future. By means of society, each man is established as an "heir" and receives certain "talents" that enrich his identity and whose fruits he must develop. He rightly owes loyalty to the communities of which he is part and respect to those in authority who have charge of the common good.  The human person needs life in society in order to develop in accordance with his nature. Certain societies, such as the family and the state, correspond more directly to the nature of man. What is the relationship between the person and society?  Each community is defined by its purpose and consequently obeys specific rules  The human person is and ought to be the principle, the subject and the end of all social institutions. Certain societies, such as the family and the civic community, are necessary for the human person. Also helpful are other associations on the national and international levels with due respect for the principle of  Certain societies, such as the family and the state, correspond more directly to the nature of man; they are necessary to him. To promote the participation of the greatest number in the life of a society, the creation of voluntary associations and institutions must be encouraged "on both national and international levels, which relate to 1. economic and social goals, 2. to cultural and recreational activities, 3. to sport, 4. to various professions 5. and to political affairs."  This "socialization" also expresses the natural tendency for human beings to associate with one another for the sake of attaining objectives that exceed individual capacities. It develops the qualities of the person, especially the sense of initiative and responsibility, and helps guarantee his rights  Widespread participation in voluntary associations and institutions is to be encouraged.
