+Live simply and
justly in solidarity with the poor and marginalized and be a good
neighbor.
Make no war on them, rather, be one with them in spirit, truth,
and love.
+Hear the truth when it is spoken
to you. Discern the signs of the times and speak truth --
to
power, to the people, and to the Church.
+Make injustice visible --
witness, remember, teach, proclaim, tell. Light candles, do not
curse the darkness.
+Protect the poor
and powerless-- listen, learn, educate, organize, empower
participation, and
respect life
from the moment of conception to the time of natural death.
+Work for reconciliation with truth, evangelism, catechesis, orthopraxis.
+Celebrate life,
goodness, beauty, virtue, responsibility, and joy. Practice peace,
non-violence, servant leadership,
harmony, community, voluntary cooperation, and the proper
stewardship of God's creation. Pray without ceasing.
+ Ensure fair distribution,
subsidiarity, economic opportunity, justice, and food security for
everyone everywhere.
