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? |
