Each generation of Christians is called to spread hope through loving concern and to work for justice for those who are treated unfairly. When we bring our children to be baptized, we are passing on this heritage, making us responsible for guiding and teaching them how to act.

Today's global economy touches people in even the most remote regions of the world. While this may bring improvements, it often brings rampant injustices too. A common example is the production of goods for one country through the use of child labor in another. Pollution and the abuse of natural resources are beginning to have increasing and dire repercussions on people in a variety of places.
