   We are called 
    to be a healing presence  
    at the heart of a wounded world,  
    to witness to the integrity of all creation,  
    and to build one world 
    where the gifts of all people,  
    all cultures, 
    all creation,  
    are affirmed and celebrated. 
    We commit ourselves  
    to promote healing and wholeness  
    in all aspects of life,  
    to seek to preserve the integrity of life  
    and to act where this integrity is threatened, 
    to participate in the movement of empowerment  
    of those made poor 
    and those who are oppressed,  
    weaving care and compassion into the web of life. 
    Together with those similarly 
    called,  
    we participate in the birth of a new world reality 
     
    as we link our lives  
    with those made poor,  
    with those who suffer,  
    with those who are victims of systemic injustice,  
    laboring to bring about our mutual liberation,  
    publicly witnessing to alternate ways  
    of being and behaving,  
    pushing beyond those boundaries 
    which separate and divide. 
    Our journey into the mystery 
    of God  
    is linked to the journey of all earth’s people. 
    Our yearning for God is one with our hunger  
    for the transformation of 
    the world.
