Justice and Peace from Head to Heart

A central activity to all missionary work is the effort to examine factors leading to situations on injustice and conflict ~ going down to the root causes, focussing our action to help bring positive change in the concrete situations were we are. This going down to the root cause is a complex activity which demands a proper methodology ~ interpreting the reality, gathering information, networking... and committing ourselves to concrete actions... review, revise and re-commit.

We have access to high quality information on problems of Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation (JPIC), what is needed is to move from the head, from all our knowledge, to the heart ~ in order to be efficient in the field of JPIC. The commitment in this field is seen as part and parcel of "making common cause" with the poor and victims of acts of injustice and conflicts ~ taking into consideration the talents of each person in collaboration and sharing.

We guide and let ourselves be guided too ~ when love is the strength of our commitment in JPIC, there is a new environment where reconciliation and peace are possible.
