Because injustice angers us and indifference saddens us,
Because we feel the same \u201cpolitical passion,\u201d
We give our lives for justice and peace, through our political commitment.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because we\u2019re not afraid to face reality and to make mistakes,
From today we commit our time, our energy and our talents to the service of others.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
the people, the lives of the poor\u201d (Evangelii Gaudium 205),
Because the family is the best building block of society,
We give priority to serving families and the poorest.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
a question of life or death,
Because consuming less and living well has become revolutionary,
Because we are limited beings, and happy to be so.
Without waiting any longer, <\/strong>
we choose a moderate and joyful lifestyle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Because it takes time to make a human being,
Because we want to build on our cultural heritage in order to be creative today,
We commit ourselves to learn and to study, and to help others to do the same.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because the evil that we fight also has its roots within us,
We let ourselves be deeply reconciled.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because we want to build bridges rather than walls,
We learn to forgive our enemies.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Because we need a place to be real and to build trust,
Because alone we can go faster but together we can go further,
We choose to live in fraternity.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because it is possible to live peacefully with our disagreements (to \u2018disagree well\u2019),
Because encountering others who are different from us makes us smarter,
We make diversity a foundation of our fraternity.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
