The Institute places the search for a true understanding of the person within the call to holiness.  The search is conceived as an integral part of the following of Christ.  In all of this, the Institute follows the lead of Benedict XVI, who says that his pontificate intends to help the Church assimilate the teachings of John Paul II as "a rich treasure" that provides the "authentic interpretation of Vatican II."  In short, the Institute understands its educational mission to be a matter of developing a vision of reality as a whole, for the purpose of building a civilization of love and culture of life.
