Living our FaithCall to Family, Community and Participation
Catholic social teaching inspires and guides how we are to live and work in the world. In this principle, Call to Family, Community and Participation, we remember that human beings are social by nature-we need each other. We, like the early disciples, are called to come together and grow as a community-whether that community is in our classroom, workplace or family.Amen, I say to You, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me"
"En verdad os digo que en cuanto lo hicisteis a uno de estos hermanos míos,
aun a los más pequeños, a mí me lo hicisteis."
“¡El Ministerio Social de la Parroquia tiene sus raíces en la fe!”
Es Jesús quien nos llama a esta tarea. El ministerio social es una expresión de lo que somos y lo que creemos. Debe estar anclado en la Escritura y la enseñanza de la Iglesia. El Ministerio Social de la parroquia comienza en la llamada del evangelio a la conversión; para cambiar nuestros corazones y nuestras vidas; para seguir en el camino de la caridad, la justicia y la paz (Comunidades de Sal y Luz ...). "This Week in Social Ministry
32. Do not be afraid of holiness. It will take away none of your energy, vitality or joy. On the contrary, you will become what the Father had in mind when he created you, and you will be faithful to your deepest self. To depend on God sets us free from every form of enslavement and leads us to recognize our great dignity. We see this in Saint Josephine Bakhita: “Abducted and sold into slavery at the tender age of seven, she suffered much at the hands of cruel masters. But she came to understand the profound truth that God, and not man, is the true Master of every human being, of every human life. This experience became a source of great wisdom for this humble daughter of Africa”.[30]GAUDETE ET EXSULTATE ( ON THE CALL TO HOLINESS IN TODAY’S WORLD)
32 . No tengas miedo de la santidad. No te quitará fuerzas, vida o alegría. Todo lo contrario, porque llegarás a ser lo que el Padre pensó cuando te creó y serás fiel a tu propio ser. Depender de él nos libera de las esclavitudes y nos lleva a reconocer nuestra propia dignidad. Esto se refleja en santa Josefina Bakhita, quien fue «secuestrada y vendida como esclava a la tierna edad de siete años, sufrió mucho en manos de amos crueles. Pero llegó a comprender la profunda verdad de que Dios, y no el hombre, es el verdadero Señor de todo ser humano, de toda vida humana. Esta experiencia se transformó en una fuente de gran sabiduría para esta humilde hija de África» [30] .GAUDETE ET EXSULTATE (SOBRE EL LLAMADO A LA SANTIDAD EN EL MUNDO ACTUAL)
