The Octaikon synthesises many ideas about who & what we are.
It represents our abilities as five opposing pairs of powers.
Other names are: abilities, faculties or fracALities.
WE…
These 10 natural powers work towards our communal well-being.
They overlap and interact, and must be kept in BALANCE
and exercised with unconditional divine love for others.
Click the Celtic Cross to explore this love.
As you read about the powers, explore the questions,
work out which power and/or topics you need to improve on.
With the help of family, friends, colleagues, teachers etc.
