LEAP of Faith
“If you want peace, work for justice.” – Pope Paul VI
The Inclusive Justice Initiative invites you to take a LEAP of faith with us exploring Catholic Social Teaching.
Learn: The principles of Catholic Social Teaching from the US Council of Catholic Bishops are:
- Life and Dignity of the Human Person
- Call to Family, Community and Participation
- Rights and Responsibilities
- Option for the Poor and Vulnerable
- The Dignity of Work and the Rights of Workers
- Solidarity
- Care for God’s Creation
Knowing, praying and practicing these teachings helps us to live out our faith more fully and richly.
Explore: Focus on Solidarity. We are one human family whatever our national, racial, ethnic, economic and ideological differences. We are our brothers’ and sisters’ keepers, wherever they may be. At the core of the virtue of solidarity is the pursuit of justice and peace. https://bit.ly/videoCST
Act: “Solidarity is not a feeling … of shallow distress at the misfortunes of so many people, both near and far. On the contrary, it is firm and persevering determination to commit oneself to the good … of all.” – Saint John Paul II
Pray: Lord, you created us each equally, as many parts of one body. Working together in solidarity, may we bring about long-lasting change in our world. Amen.
