As prophetic companions of Jesus, we commit ourselves to the mission of God, received from the Church through Pope Francis as Universal Apostolic Preferences 2019-2029 ‘to announce His Gospel of hope’ (GC 35, d. 2,13) to all, especially to the poor, marginalized, tribals, dalits, women, youth and children. The path we walk with the poor is one that promotes integral liberation (Gutiérrez, Gustavo, 1971. Teología de la liberación) through reconciliation with the divine, humans and nature in pursuit of justice. We, along with our collaborators, uphold and promote the spiritual, cultural, environmental, social, economic, civic and political rights of people. We affirm people’s right to shape their destiny, to use their resources responsibly, and to create communities of “faith that does justice” (Peter Hans Kolvenbach). Our care for indigenous peoples, their cultures and their basic rights, occupies a preferential place in our commitment to reconciliation and justice in all their dimensions. We also resolve to care for the earth, our ‘common home’.
