Establishing

a right relationship with One Another

According to Decree 3 of General Congregation 35 (2008) this is the second area in which Jesuits, as servants of Christ, are invited to work.

While in our global world
many people have been lifted from poverty,
the gap between rich and poor within nations
and across national boundaries has increased.

Transnational interests, unconstrained by
national laws and often abetted by corruption,
frequently exploit the natural resources
of the poor.
Powerful economic groups foment violence,
war and arms trafficking.

How can we see the world from the perspective
of the poor and the marginalized,
learning from them, acting with and for them?

How can we build bridges
between rich and poor,
establish advocacy links of mutual support
between those who hold political power
and those who find it difficult
to voice their interests?
