Overcoming all classism

The reality of this union in Christian charity must be shown in deeds, in every sphere of human society. There can be no class distinctions, much less castes or sectarianism. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus (Gal 3:28).

Means

Achieving such unity and making it last is a difficult task. It is nurtured by acts of humility, self-denial and silence, learning how to listen and understand, taking a genuine interest in other people’s well-being, forgiving as often as necessary... in a word, by learning how to love, truly, with deeds.

Apostolic zeal

We all have to contribute to this great Christian task by making a determined apostolic effort. We must help all those who approach the Work feel moved to work for unity and mutual understanding, which leads people to live together peacefully, and brings about spiritual and material well-being.
