Week 12: Solidarity

This section seeks to raise a greater awareness and understanding of the Church’s deep moral and social doctrine.

Solidarity
All of us who take part in the Eucharist are called to discover, through this sacrament, the profound meaning of our actions in the world in favor of development and peace; and to receive from it the strength to commit ourselves ever more generously, following the example of Christ, who in this sacrament lays down his life for his friends (cf. Jn 15:13). Our personal commitment, like Christ's and in union with his, will-not be in vain but certainly fruitful.
St. Pope John Paul II, Sollicitudo Rei Socialis, § 48, December 30, 1987
