In
the poor and outcast we see Christ's
face ; by
loving and helping the poor , we love
and serve Christ . Our
efforts are also directed towards ending
violations of human
dignity, discrimination and abuse in the
world , for
these are so often the cause of
destitution .
When
power , luxury and money become idols, they
take priority
over the need for a fair distribution
of wealth . Our
consciences thus need to be converted to
justice , equality
, simplicity and sharing .
