Are you alert to practices here and throughout the world which discriminate
against people on the basis of who or what they are or because of their
beliefs? Bear witness to the humanity of all people, including those
who break society's conventions or its laws. Try to discern new growing
points in social and economic life. Seek to understand the causes of
injustice, social unrest and fear. Are you working to bring about a
just and compassionate society which allows everyone to develop their
capacities and fosters the desire to serve?
