Slide Notes

Our God is Trinity, three persons, one God. These three persons are in constant relationship with each other. Being created in the image of God, we too need to be in relationships. Human beings are social. This principle reminds us that when we create social structures we must always do so in a way that protects human dignity. Family is at the center of all community and we need to strengthen family life.

Our faith calls us to community in an active way. We have a responsibility to live our values in our social world. We need to stand up for the dignity of all people, especially the poor and the oppressed. When we participate in society we must always make decisions for the common good of society.

Call to family & community

  • Human beings are social
  • Social structures must protect human dignity
  • Family at center of community
  • Call to be active in community
  • Common good
Our God is Trinity, three persons, one God. These three persons are in constant relationship with each other. Being created in the image of God, we too need to be in relationships. Human beings are social. This principle reminds us that when we create social structures we must always do so in a way that protects human dignity. Family is at the center of all community and we need to strengthen family life.

“It is necessary that all participate, each according to his position and role, in promoting the common good. This obligation is inherent in the dignity of the human person. Participation is achieved first of all by taking charge of areas for which one assumes personal responsibility…As far as possible; citizens should take an active part in public life.”



Catechism of the Catholic Church, nos. 1913-1915

We love because he first loved us. If anyone says, "I love God," but hates his brother, he is a liar; for whoever does not love a brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. This is the commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.



1 John 4:19-21

Option for the Poor

  • Poor and vulnerable must take priority
  • Matthew 25:31-46
We believe that God loves everyone in such a way that even our most powerful experience of love is just a taste of how much God loves us. God loves each of us equally, but Scripture reminds us that some people’s needs are so urgent and so great that their needs come first. Therefore, while everyone is important, those who have no voice in our society, those whose human rights are violated, those whose dignity is not recognized, must take our first priority as Catholic Christians. Jesus’ story of the Last Judgment (Matthew 25:31-46) teaches us that when we enter into the lives and the struggles of the poor and vulnerable, we will experience Jesus’ presence in a real and powerful way.
