living Jesus Christ in their lives” (E&M #32)

Vicitms of injustice, those who suffer, the poor, the

marginalized, young people, women, and families. Families

suffering from abuse, divorce, abortion, violence,

addiction, isolation, legal residence issues, and lack of

educational opportunities.

The Orchard of Christ – Low-Hanging Fruit.

How are we responding pastorally to the poor, ‘the

outsiders’, and those who suffer?

3.) New Evangelization and Pastoral de Conjunto

JP2: “We must make the Church the home and

school of communion” (Novo Millenio Ineunte #43)
