Remember, as Catholic Christians, no political party can ever entirely be our home. We are called to be prophets, not partisans. And we are prophets after the heart of Jeremiah, we are weeping prophets. We identify in love and solidarity with those whom we would challenge, with those whom we would servce, as we seek together to promote the common good.

Remember, "If you want peace, work for justice!"
