Human beings and the rest of God's creation are being deprived of life. A passion for justice, a desire for peace and non-violence, a concern for the integrity of all creation are essential to the living out of the gospel. These are not an optional extra but a way of life. Action for justice and participation in the transformation of the world are a constitutive dimension of preaching the gospel and essential Church's mission of liberating the human race from every oppressive situation.
