Love and Life is a positive, life-affirming presentation of God's plan for life and love. It shows how we learn to live and love within the Church according to God's two greatest commandments and the beatitudes, which are nurtured in us through our lives in Jesus Christ and which are revealed to us through the love and guidance of the Holy Spirit.

• Love and Life uses:
   
  Sacred Scripture
• The Documents of Vatican II
• The Writings and Lives of Saints and Contemporaries
• Poems, Letters and Slogans Created by Teens for Teens
• A Lively, Down-to-Earth Commentary

The program has been carefully designed and developed over five years of practical use with teens. It communicates on their terms, but with a level of challenge that both motivates and rewards them for good effort.

Love and Life focuses on the true meaning of Christian Family Living. It is through the family that we first experience God's love for us. And it is the family that provides the context for understanding sexual maturity as a life-giving and life-supportive gift from God that respects all life and which gives us special powers in God's plan for creation.

The Sacraments, the liturgy, our prayers, devotions, sacrifices and faithfulness to the commandments, together with the practice of our love for God and neighbor, are presented as the spiritual resources that we need to know, love and serve God as mature, responsible Christians.
