What does "People in need" mean to you?

Since we are talking about helping people in need, people usually assign,'' people in need'' to people that have no homes or are always starving, yes it is very important to care for them, but we always forget to help out each other, becasue anyone who needs help is a person in need."The common good means achieving the conditions that make it possible for all to come to their full potential as people become all that God intends them to be."

Why can't money just be shared equally?

Since money is so prevelant in ths age, you wonder why its not shared equally among others. We think that God wants to humble people who weren't thankful when they had money and for the people who were like that from the start God will give them big rewards if they go up in heaven."I have lived like an animal in the street, but I am going to die as an angel, loved and cared for."

Why is giving to "people in need" so important in Gods'/peoples eyes?

God very much appreciates poor people because of how easy going, thankfull and humble they can be. Some people say poor people are brothers and sisters of God because they were just like him. God wants these people to be an example for us and helping them out will look very good in God's and other people's eyes, because even though God wants them to be an example for us he still dosen't want them in pain and agony all the time. "Jesus is the good news to the poor.As his followers, may we recognise the call to be the same."

Unjust Issues: Homelessness

We think this goes perfectly with economic justice because most of the time people become homeless because they didn't have enough money to maintain the house and we can help all these people in need by giving them a place to stay and give them food.

Social Teaching: Economic Justice

We chose this social teaching because it has a big affect on the world because of how many have money and how many people don't . And how some people suffer from the lack of it so we wanted to educate you all about this teaching and how you should always give back and be fair to those who don't have the luxury of money.
