Human Dignity and the Integrity of Creation
Our policies, systems and institutions must uphold the Common Good
over and above personal or family interests

We build & support Democratic Institutions4
Our actions shall be carried out in the spirit
of STEWARDSHIP5
We do not own the world
…we only borrowed it from our children
We have been entrusted to take care
…of Ourselves
…of the Others around us
…of human Systems and Institutions
…of Creation
Our way of proceeding in safeguarding Human Dignity and
the Integrity of Creation is Stewardship
– we are CARETAKERS5
As Stewards, we maintain a PREFERENTIAL OPTION
for the EXCLUDED and VULNERABLE sectors6
Because in the real world,
majority of the people are poor and
disadvantaged by systems and institutions
and by human ambition
We maintain a PREFERENTIAL OPTION for the EXCLUDED and
the VULNERABLE6
