Catholic social teaching has explosive power for changing not just individuals, but whole societies. And it's the saints who light the fuse. — Brandon Vogt
The value of human life. The call to family and community. Serving the poor. The rights of workers. Care for creation.
The church has always taught certain undeniable truths that can and should affect our society. But over the years, these teachings have been distorted, misunderstood, and forgotten.
With the help of fourteen saints, it's time we reclaim Catholic social teaching and rediscover it through the lives of those who best lived it out. Follow in the saints' footsteps, learn from their example, and become the spark of authentic social justice that sets the world on fire.

Quotes

  • Miriam Hopehas quoted7 years ago
    She always maintained that the easiest way to honor someone’s dignity is through small acts: shaking someone’s hand, flashing a smile, taking the time to listen. Though simple, these small gestures loudly proclaim, “You matter. You’re important. You’re worth my attention and affection.”
  • Miriam Hopehas quoted7 years ago
    People often asked Mother Teresa why she loved the poor so much, how she could honor dignity in such difficult situations. In response, she liked to grasp their hand, slowly wiggle one finger at a time, and explain: “You-did-it-to-me.” In her mind, you could count the whole Gospel on just five fingers.
  • Miriam Hopehas quoted7 years ago
    Christians believe that human dignity is, in the first place, the result of God’s respect for us.
