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.
