Mission in Action
Over the past few months, our office has been issuing social justice resources – “Just Act” reports and videos – on various topics related to our four commitments and other “hot-button” issues. These resources are intended for use in classroom settings and small group discussions, and we hope they will educate readers and facilitate engagement and advocacy.
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God” (Mt 5: 9). The countless works of peace, of which the world is rich, bear witness to humanity’s natural vocation to peace. In each person, the desire for peace is an essential aspiration and coincides, in a sense, with the yearning for a full, happy and successful human life.
Discovering a call to a particular life commitment takes time. It requires honesty with ourselves about our gifts and talents, inclinations and deepest desires. The more we get to know ourselves, the better we are at detecting God’s movement within our hearts.
