Courses of Action
We want to be the change we would like to see happen in the world, and that is why we commit ourselves personally, each one in their own place:
- to recognize and promote fundamental and inviolable human rights, embedded in the constituent dignity of each individual, as building blocks for the common good;
- to be peacemakers, wherever peace is wounded, the balance of the world is compromised, or human rights are denied;
- to be a practical response to overcome conflict with dialogue, disagreement with potential agreement, offense with paths of reconciliation, separation with hardly won consensus, and broken relations with healing reparation;
- to educate others and ourselves to practise legality, which in compliance with the laws considers the good of others as our own, even to the extent of personal commitment against all forms of corruption;
- to take measures for justice to defend the dignity of each individual life.
Good Practices
Let us commit ourselves immediately, in today’s world that is in our hands, involving our friends, our colleagues, our civil or religious communities, associations, and national and international institutions. Let’s get our hands dirty together with many people and with creativity, starting from the challenges we face locally.
