As we consider our electoral options, we remember that each issue must be evaluated in light of our Catholic affirmation of the fundamental dignity of every human person.

As the people of the United States prepare for the 2024 presidential election, we, the members of the Passionist Solidarity Network, offer a series of prayerful reflections on the important commitments we have made over the years to live the Passionist charism in our own lives and decisions. As Passionists, we embrace the crucified Christ in the crucified of our world, including our crucified Earth. In this time of discernment, we invite you to take to heart the important issues of our time in light of the Gospel and the solidarity and courage that come from the Passionist charism. Just as St. Paul of the Cross saw the name of Jesus written on the foreheads of the poor of his time, so too are we called to see the face of Christ in our sisters and brothers and Earth herself. We want to be painfully aware of their sufferings and to actively accompany them to a place of justice, dignity, well-being, belonging, and peace. We invite you to join us in prayer over the next weeks. Watch for our posts inspired by the documents that shape our lives as the Passionist Family.
In the spirit of St. Paul of the Cross, grounded in our Passionist values, let us pray deeply that we may carefully discern our election choices, working together to bring God’s reign of justice, peace, and love to our world. |
