To Stand with the Poor (July 30, 2023)

July 30, 2023

Today, we're delving into a topic that's close to my heart and, I believe, central to the teachings of Jesus - standing with the poor.


In this presentation, we're going to unpack the profound words of Gustavo Gutierrez and explore the concept of the "Preferential Option for the Poor". We'll take a hard look at our society through this lens, asking ourselves - how are we treating our most vulnerable members?


We'll journey through the Circle of Social Action, a process that involves Awareness, Analysis, Action, and Reflection. Each step is crucial in understanding and addressing the systemic issues that perpetuate poverty. We'll also be looking at case studies from the United States, the Global South, and our local communities to see how these principles apply in real-world scenarios.


But we're not stopping there. We'll also be discussing the role of the Church and each of us as individuals in this fight against poverty. It's a call to action, a call to live out the teachings of Jesus in a tangible, impactful way.


So, join me as we dive deep into this important topic. Let's open our hearts and minds, challenge our preconceptions, and seek to embody the love of Christ in our actions. Remember, we're in this journey together, learning, growing, and striving to make a difference in our world.
