Direction: Based on your research in asynchronous class about 10 Principle Of
Catholic Social Teaching. Explain the 10 principle of Catholic Social Teaching in a
simpler way to a transferee in Grade 7. Use the format below as you explain each
principle.
Life and Dignity of the Human Person
We are all created in the likeness and image of
God, we are a representation of our God. To
respect and show our love for the Father, we
must show respect to our brethren and take note
of their dignity as well. Disrespecting others can
signify disrespect to our God.
Peace
Peace is not merely the absence of war, the
balance of power, nor is it silence in our
society. A peaceful society is a just society,
where equality and charity reign. It gives us
the right to have a good relationship with
God.
Economic Justice
The economy is made to serve the people, not
the other way round. Every one of us has a right
to work, to have fair wages, and to work in safe
working conditions. Work is a form of continuing
participation in God’s creation.
Rights & Responsibilities
We are responsible for how we utilize our rights.
We are also responsible to ensure the rights of
our brethren. A well-ordered human society
requires that people recognize and observe their
mutual rights and duties. Order in our society
will be fulfilled if we respect each other's rights.
Activity #1
Common Good
One of God's greatest commandments is to
love our neighbors. We must bear witness to
God's will and show concern for the well-being
of our brethren in our society. We must serve
others without expecting anything in return; we
should serve because we love our God and our
neighbor.
10 Principle
of Catholic
Social
Teaching
Participation
We are created to fill the Earth and interact with
each other. We are all entitled to work with each
other and take part in the society that we live in.
Without the participation of our society, many of
the branches that make up our society, like the
government, will come into disarray.
Solidarity
We are all the children of God; we all take part in
his Kingdom. We must take part and think for
the common good of our community. Solidarity.
Solidarity came the French word "Solidaire"
which means sturdy, firm, and undivided. We
must take action and be one with our
community, so that unity can be achieved. We,
as a community, are stronger when we are
united.
Preferential Option for the Poor
Every one of us is equal to the eyes of God. God
doesn't bat an eye to our riches, material
possessions, and state in life. As brethren, we
must extend our hand to the needy in our
society, we must be the voice of the oppressed,
and we should focus on the well-being of others,
for our, God loves the weak and the needy, and
those who are rich in His Spirit.
Stewardship of Creation
We are given the responsibility of taking care of
all of creation. Everything that God created has
its value. We must take action and give love to
our ecology, we must preserve our Earth's
beauty, for the future of generations to come,
because Earth is our Home. Laudato Si
Subsidiarity & the Role of
Government
The promotion of Human Dignity, Human
Rights, and the development of the common
good are rooted in our government. It is the
government's task to recognize what is best for
the welfare of our society, and their decisions
can drastically affect the society itself. For the
government to do its job, society must also
show its support and participation.
