The Vision for You is a process by which we discovered our true calling in life—what we call our ‘personal vocation’; and through which we discovered the Great Fact—that we have a choice in life: WE CAN CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY OR TO BE MISERABLE.
Civic art, particularly public statues and monuments, plays a vital role in shaping and preserving a nation's cultural identity and values. Within the context of a Christian nation, these artistic expressions serve as tangible reminders of the foundational principles upon which the society is built and the ideals it strives to uphold.

It is a training in the via pulchritudinis and is the formation of the New Evangelisation, I suggest.
