Resurrection-Ascension Parish

 The bishops of the United States have issued a statement on the importance of bringing the values of our faith to the decisions made in our public life.   In their statement, Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship, the bishops call for "a different kind of political engagement: one shaped by the moral convictions of well-formed consciences and focused on the dignity of every human being, the pursuit of the common good, and the protection of the weak and the vulnerable" and just merely by political party association (no. 14).  As you prepare for the upcoming election, please consider how the values of your faith can help you make your decisions. For information on Faithful Citizenship visit  www.faithfulcitizenship.org
 

Los obispos de los Estados Unidos han publicado una declaración sobre la importancia de incluir los valores de nuestra fe en las decisiones que tomemos en nuestra vida pública. En su declaración Formando la conciencia para ser ciudadanos fieles, los obispos hacen un llamado a "un tipo diferente de participación política: una formada por las convicciones morales de conciencias bien formadas y enfocada en la dignidad de cada ser humano, la búsqueda del bien común y la protección de los débiles y vulnerables" y no simplemente en el partido politico (no. 14).  Al prepararse para las próximas elecciones, por favor piensen en cómo los valores de su fe los pueden ayudar a tomar decisions.
