inspired by the Gospel of the Beatitudes, of the poverty of Jesus, and of His
concern to the poor.
5. Jesus takes the side of those most in need. As followers of Christ, we are
challenged to make a fundamental ‘option for the poor’ – to speak for the
voiceless, to defend the defenseless, to assess the life styles, policies, and social
institutions in terms of their impact on the poor.
6. Poverty is not merely the lack of adequate financial resources. It entails a more
profound kind of deprivation, a denial of full participation in the economic, social,
and political life of society and an inability to influence decisions that affect one’s
life … Therefore we should seek solutions that enable the poor to help themselves
through such means as employment.
7. The universal destination of goods requires that the poor, the marginalized and in
all cases those whose living conditions interfere with their proper growth should
be focus of particular concern.
