LUMEN GENTIUM , 1964 |
Let all Christians do whatever they can to
make this world a better place,
a place where customs and laws favor rather than hinder the practice of virtue,
a place that is open to Jesus' message of peace
Christians are members of the Church and members of society.
Christians' everyday activities, personal and business,
should be guided by Christian values
The Church rejects that ominous doctrine
which attempts to build a society with no regard whatever for religion,
and which attacks and destroys the religious liberty of its citizens
Jesus, please help all your followers
to be good Christians and thereby be good citizens
