We appeal to them as <strong>men and women of goodwill<\/strong>, following the example of Jesus who welcomed everyone by asking each one to do his or her part (&#8220;soldiers &#8230; be content with your wages&#8221; &#8211; Lk 3:14), not forcing anyone to change their convictions.<\/p>\n\n<p>For this reason, we intend to <strong>open up the network of faith communities by expanding it to include non-denominational communities<\/strong> that share, from time to time, some of the goals of hope and charity that we will set out to achieve.<\/p>\n\n<p>We ask communities of faith to base themselves on <strong>prayer, individual and collective, and on sacramental life, grafted into the Universal and Local Church, without creating parallel sects or parishes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>To all communities, faith and non-faith, we ask:<\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\">\n<li><strong>Think missionary:<\/strong> each community that reaches a certain maturity helps neighbouring communities to grow or establish themselves<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Training in secular ethical principles<\/strong> such as: civil resistance and non-violent struggle, autonomy of judgement and action, civic education, capacity for self-reliance<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>We want to follow St John Bosco&#8217;s motto of being &#8216;good Christians&#8217;, for those who believe, &#8216;and honest citizens&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n<p><em><strong>First Signatories<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n<p><em>Luca Lezzerini, Wanda Massa, Teresa Palazzolo, Domenico Romaniello<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p><em><strong>Subscribers<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n<p><em>Michela Lazz\u00e8<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p>If you would like to subscribe to this manifesto, please send an e-mail to <a href=\"mailto:info@lucesveritatis.it\">info@lucesveritatis.it<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p>Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@joshuaearle?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Joshua Earle<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/it\/s\/foto\/lights-cross?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>To find out who we are<\/strong>, you can click on the About Us menu or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lucesveritatis.it\/en\/about-us\/\">on this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p>T<strong>o find out about the Code of Ethics<\/strong>, you can click on menu Code of Ethics or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lucesveritatis.it\/codice-etico\/\">on this link.<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>To find out about our Project,<\/strong> you can access the Resources menu <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lucesveritatis.it\/risorse\/\">or this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In these times when all institutions, including the Church, are experiencing a profound identity crisis, we believe it is necessary to put Christ back at the centre of society in&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":"","_tec_slr_enabled":"","_tec_slr_layout":""},"class_list":["post-2391","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
