PRESENTATION OUTLINE
THE HUMAN PERSON IS SACRED
Since we are all part of God's creation, we are all equal. It doesn't matter who we are because we are all unique. Also, life is sacred and must be respected, even from the moment we are born.
THE HUMAN PERSON IS SOCIAL
When we socialize, we grow in maturity and learn important life experiences. As Catholics, the most important way to socialize is through Mass. Being social helps us grow relationships, which we as humans need to live a happy and fulfilling life. We also become more knowledgable of the world around us.
As all humans are created equally, we all have rights to basic needs such as food, water, freedom, and shelter. Also, humans are entitled to responsibilities such as taking care of the Earth, showing love to everyone, serving justice, and helping others.
As Catholics, it is our duty to protect those who cannot protect themselves. The rights of the poor, vulnerable, and voiceless must be attended to. We are all brothers and sisters, so we must look out for each other.
Work has dignity. Therefore, workers have dignity and are entitled to rights. These rights include forming unions, fair wages, fair work hours, and stable working conditions.
Jesus says that what we do for others, we do for him. Therefore, we are called to work together for the common good. Only by all of us working shall we achieve global unity and peace.
We care for creation because we care for God. God created everything, so we must advocate for its protection. Also, it is necessary that we ourselves help in the protection of Earth.
