"You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[a] and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven.

"Commitment and conversion can change us and together we can change our culture and communities.  Person by person, family by family, neighborhood by neighborhood, we must take our communities back from the evil and fear that come with so much violence.  We believe our faith in Jesus Christ gives us the values, vision and hope that can bring an important measure of peace to our hearts, our homes, and our streets."]]> 2017-03-29 15:39:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mvanderwey/h5v09fqrfxi7/wish/163460650 mvanderwey https://padlet.com/mvanderwey/h5v09fqrfxi7/wish/163460863 Catholic Social Teaching shows us that we must all work together to overcome violence. Violence is a growing and noticeable problem in the world, and it is our job as Catholics to do something about it and create change. We cannot do this alone and we must come together in Christ to defeat violence in our communities, nations, and world. Jesus instilled peace, love, and care in our hearts. If we realize this, we can work for the common good and achieve more than we can alone.]]> 2017-03-29 15:40:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mvanderwey/h5v09fqrfxi7/wish/163460863 mvanderwey https://padlet.com/mvanderwey/h5v09fqrfxi7/wish/163461173 2017-03-29 15:41:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mvanderwey/h5v09fqrfxi7/wish/163461173 mvanderwey https://padlet.com/mvanderwey/h5v09fqrfxi7/wish/163461455 2017-03-29 15:41:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mvanderwey/h5v09fqrfxi7/wish/163461455 mvanderwey https://padlet.com/mvanderwey/h5v09fqrfxi7/wish/163461743 Then God said, “Let us make mankindin our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

It stated, "Respect for life is not just a slogan or a program; it is a fundamental moral principle flowing from our teaching on the dignity of the human person. It is an approach to life that values people over things. Respect for life must guide the choices we make as individuals and as a society: what we do and won't do, what we value and consume, whom we admire and whose example we follow, what we support and what we oppose."

From the moment of conception to until death, human like must be respected and valued. We must do as much as we can to perseveres our lives. In order to do this, healthcare needs to be accessible to all. Ending life goes against God's plan and grace the person has received. ]]> 2017-03-29 15:43:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mvanderwey/h5v09fqrfxi7/wish/163462095 mvanderwey https://padlet.com/mvanderwey/h5v09fqrfxi7/wish/163462318 2017-03-29 15:44:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mvanderwey/h5v09fqrfxi7/wish/163462318 mvanderwey https://padlet.com/mvanderwey/h5v09fqrfxi7/wish/163462577 2017-03-29 15:44:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mvanderwey/h5v09fqrfxi7/wish/163462577
