The life and dignity of every person should be protected and respected. ]]> 2017-02-15 16:00:41 UTC https://padlet.com/hhandorf/nhchlcv0bj49/wish/154053923 https://padlet.com/hhandorf/nhchlcv0bj49/wish/154192975 The Church wants everyone to be treated as equals and children of God.

We should not think less of someone because of their race, culture, religion, or anything else. Everyone's life has value and purpose. God wants goodness for everyone and for people to  live their lives to the fullest. We should help carry that out and want that for everyone too. ]]> 2017-02-17 02:23:11 UTC https://padlet.com/hhandorf/nhchlcv0bj49/wish/154506115 kshields6 https://padlet.com/hhandorf/nhchlcv0bj49/wish/154506267 It is a sin of omission to ignore those who we can help. When God provides us with food and clothes and we ignore those in need we are turning our back on Him. The Church lives selflessly attempting to help all those who let it.]]> 2017-02-17 02:24:50 UTC https://padlet.com/hhandorf/nhchlcv0bj49/wish/154506267 kshields6 https://padlet.com/hhandorf/nhchlcv0bj49/wish/154506588 The option for the poor and vulnerable is rooted in the moral principle that the church teaching calls the universal destination of goods. This means that the earth and all its goods belong to God, and he intends these goods to provide all things human beings need to live with dignity. ]]> 2017-02-17 02:28:40 UTC https://padlet.com/hhandorf/nhchlcv0bj49/wish/154506588 kshields6 https://padlet.com/hhandorf/nhchlcv0bj49/wish/154506931 Society's call to place people who are poor and vulnerable first can be compared to the way parents pray for special attention to a sick child]]> 2017-02-17 02:32:39 UTC https://padlet.com/hhandorf/nhchlcv0bj49/wish/154506931 mmcloughlin2 https://padlet.com/hhandorf/nhchlcv0bj49/wish/154506948 As Children of God, we are taught to care for those who are worse off than we are.  God made the earth and everything on it, so therefore, the earth belongs to God and he intended for the goods of the earth to be shared among all human beings. We must tend to the poor and vulnerable simply because they need it more than anyone else.    ]]> 2017-02-17 02:32:51 UTC https://padlet.com/hhandorf/nhchlcv0bj49/wish/154506948 kshields6 https://padlet.com/hhandorf/nhchlcv0bj49/wish/154507106 It involves freely choosing to become friends or partners with those who are poor and taking on their problems as our problems ]]> 2017-02-17 02:34:27 UTC https://padlet.com/hhandorf/nhchlcv0bj49/wish/154507106 kshields6 https://padlet.com/hhandorf/nhchlcv0bj49/wish/154507240 The option for the poor and vulnerable people means a commitment to take action to transform any injustices that prevent them from realizing their God given dignity. ]]> 2017-02-17 02:35:35 UTC https://padlet.com/hhandorf/nhchlcv0bj49/wish/154507240 kshields6 https://padlet.com/hhandorf/nhchlcv0bj49/wish/154508976 2017-02-17 02:55:35 UTC https://padlet.com/hhandorf/nhchlcv0bj49/wish/154508976
