3. God our Father, you created the
world and sent your own Son to live
among us, made of the same stuff,
breathing the same air, marvelling at
sunrise and sunset just as we do.
Help us to participate in the life
around and within us as your life, as
you living in us and we living in you
and in each other. God of love and
life, restore us to your peace, renew
us through your power and teach us
to love all that you have created and
to care for the earth as your gift and
our home.
4. Trying to bring about a better world only by the
conversion of hearts without the transformation of
unjust structures is an idealistic utopia, while
working for the transformation of unjust structures
without the conversion of heart is a materialistic
illusion. Both are necessary to bring about justice,
peace and the integrity of creation”
(VM p. 19, based on “Instruction on Christian Freedom
and Liberation”, 75 Congregation of the Doctrine of the
Faith)

heard the clamor of the voiceless by tackling the causes
of suffering and injustices at their very source.

We will strive to identify with the poor, share their life
and engage with them in the struggle to achieve justice
and peace and promote the integrity of creation. We
announce the liberating presence of Jesus Christ and
the new world born in His Resurrection. We will hear,
accompany and provide opportunity for those living in
poverty to voice their concerns. In communion with
the Church and with people of goodwill we will make
every effort to see, judge and act on the root causes of
suffering and injustice in our world. We will be present
where decisions affecting the future of the poor are
being made.
