The Preferential Option for the Poor and Vulnerable

“Scripture teaches that God has a special concern for the poor and vulnerable.  The prophets denounced injustice toward the poor as a lack of fidelity to the God of Israel Jesus, who identified himself with ‘the least of these’, came to preach ‘good news to the poor, liberty to captives…and to set the downtrodden free’.  The Church calls on all of us to embrace this preferential option for the poor and vulnerable, to embody it in our lives, and to work to have it shape public policies and priorities.”
