- Committing to Daily Personal Encounters with the Living Jesus Christ of the Scriptures refers to the experience of the daily living encounter with Jesus Christ that leads the person to come to oneness in Jesus and to enter into and live the Communion of the Most Holy Trinity.
- The Communion of the Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit refers to the Trinitarian Communion of the Three Divine Persons of God as he exists within himself.
- To live the Paschal Mystery as Disciples of Jesus and Mary refers first to Jesus: to living in oneness with Jesus in his Trinitarian Life and secondly in reference to Mary: as becoming like Jesus by imitating Mary as the first and best disciple of Jesus. Discipleship is a true calling and vocation. The spirituality of Discipleship of Jesus and Mary come from the Gospels; its calling and vocations (of living this spirituality) come from the Scriptures and serve as a model of way of life for the members of The Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity to respond to their call and vocation. To live the Paschal Mystery in this Discipleship, the person lives in oneness with Jesus and Mary as they lived the Paschal Mystery of Jesus Our Redeemer. This means that

- The Integral Development of All Peoples refers to the fullness of the Divine Plan of our Heavenly Father for each one of his sons and daughters to become his sons and daughters as the family of our Heavenly Father.
