FEAST DAY OF ST MARTIN DE PORRES - November 3rd:
Martin spent his life doing as Jesus taught - caring for the sick, the poor and the slaves in Peru. His life provides us wiht an example of social justice. Catholic Social Teaching - rooted both in the Hebrew prophets who announced God’s special love for the poor as well as in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ - helps us understand who we are and how we are called to live in community with one another. The Church’s social doctrines touch upon seven core themes: life and dignity of the human person; call to family; community and participation; rights responsibilities; option for the poor and vulnerable ; the dignity of work and the rights of workers; solidarity and care for God’s creation. There’s a video on YouTube called The Seven Themes of Catholic Social Teaching that explains each theme.
