112 The poor have a privileged place in the gospel. In a world deeply scarred by injustice and inhuman living conditions, our faith calls us to recognize the presence of Christ in the poor and the oppressed. We thus commit ourselves to fostering unity and justice and to overcoming egoism and the abuse of power. We consider it our duty to promote justice according to the gospel in solidarity with the poor and the oppressed.

Constitution 112

Page 3: JUSTICE , PEACE AND INTEGRITY OF CREATION  in Divine Word Society (SVD)

• 112.1 Our efforts to win more widespread recognition and appreciation of the dignity and inner worth of the human person are more important than any material help we can give. We assist the poor and oppressed in such a way that gradually they are able to arrive at better living conditions by means of their own resources and initiative.

• 112.2 Our struggle is not only against famine, ignorance and the denial of human rights but especially against the sinfulness of the human heart which is at the root of the oppressive structures and systems that cause these evils.

Page 4: JUSTICE , PEACE AND INTEGRITY OF CREATION  in Divine Word Society (SVD)

• 12.3 Active though our commitment must be, nevertheless, we will not choose the path of violence but follow the gospel principle of overcoming evil with good (see Rm 12:21).

• 12.4 In all provinces the commitment to the poor must be promoted and an appropriate awareness of the cause of justice and peace aroused and intensified. The generalate should coordinate and foster these efforts.

Starting the JPIC Ministry in most exclusive way and establishing the office of the JPIC coordinator on the Generalate and Provincial levels: a1983 after the 12th General chapter (1982).

Page 6: JUSTICE , PEACE AND INTEGRITY OF CREATION  in Divine Word Society (SVD)

The Chapter produced a document: The promotion of Justice and Peace in Solidarity with the Poor in the Light of Constitution 112.

Page 7: JUSTICE , PEACE AND INTEGRITY OF CREATION  in Divine Word Society (SVD)

The document states: “The chapter by way of c 112 calls on all members of the Society to show a more determined commitment to the promotion of justice and peace in solidarity with the poor and oppressed.”

Page 8: JUSTICE , PEACE AND INTEGRITY OF CREATION  in Divine Word Society (SVD)

It challenges the SVD members to respond on all levels:• Conscientization and Insertion into the life of the

Poor• Our personal and Communal Lifestyle• Our Relationship with one another• Our Complicity in the Structures of Injustice and

Exploitation• Our Institutions of Learning• Our Publications and Communications Apostolate• Direct Apostolic Options

Page 9: JUSTICE , PEACE AND INTEGRITY OF CREATION  in Divine Word Society (SVD)

Where are we now?

• Bringing the Social Teaching of the Church to the environment of our Congregation

• Animating every SVD to include in his ministry, whatever type of ministry he does, the JPIC Dimension• The four dimensions, that are part of the SVD profile,

are: being a missionary (missio), having the Word of God as the base for his life and ministry (kerygma, Bible apostolate), focusing on building a community (koinoia, communication), and focusing on the service (diakonia, JPIC)

• Particular JPIC Projects and Ministry• e.g. working with migrants and refugees, street children,

with the poor, in anti-human trafficking activities, etc...

1.0 JPIC is a part of missionary calling.Action on behalf of justice, peace and the integrity of creation (JPIC) in solidarity with the poor and the marginalized is a demand of our common religious‑missionary calling. Therefore, as the 12th General Chapter reaffirmed, all of us should manifest a definite commitment to promote justice and peace in whatever kind of apostolate we may find ourselves engaged (Nuntius XI, p. 583, 1).

1.0 JPIC es la parte de nuestra vocación misionera. Trabajar por la justicia, la paz y la integridad de la creación (JUPIC), en solidaridad con los pobres y marginados, constituye una exigencia de nuestra común vocación religioso-misionera. En consecuencia, tal como lo reafirmó el 12º Capítulo General, “todos nosotros debemos manifestar un compromiso definido con la promoción de la justicia y de la paz en cualquier clase de apostolado en que estemos comprometidos” (Nuntius XI, pág. 567).

creation.

Page 13: JUSTICE , PEACE AND INTEGRITY OF CREATION  in Divine Word Society (SVD)

2.1 CoordinatorAll provinces should appoint a provincial JPIC coordinator to animate the confreres to a more determined commitment to the promotion of justice, peace and the integrity of creation in solidarity with the poor and marginalized, and to coordinate action in this field (Nuntius XI, p. 584, 2).

2.1 CoordinadorTodas las Provincias deberán nombrar un coordinador provincial de JUPIC para animar a los cohermanos a comprometerse en forma más definida en la promoción de la justicia, la paz y la integridad de la creación, en solidaridad con los pobres, y para coordinar los esfuerzos que se hagan en este cam po (Nuntius XI. pág. 568).

2.2 CommissionTo reach out more effectively to all the confreres in the province and to deal more comprehensively with the complex issues of justice, peace, and the integrity of creation, provinces are encouraged to establish a commission to assist the coordinator.

2.2 ComisiónA fin de llegar con mayor eficacia a todos los cohermanos de la Provincia, y con miras a tratar en forma más amplia los complejos problemas relacionados con la justicia, la paz y la integridad de la creación, se recomienda que las Provincias establezcan una comisión para ayudar al coordinador.

Page 15: JUSTICE , PEACE AND INTEGRITY OF CREATION  in Divine Word Society (SVD)

3.0 Appointment and term of officeThe provincial coordinator is appointed by the provincial superior with the consent of his council, and where applicable, also the members of the commission. He usually serves for a term of three years and may be reappointed (see c 615). However, in the interests of cultivating awareness of issues and fostering skills of coordination in a greater number of confreres, it is recommended that JPIC personnel be changed at reasonable intervals while ensuring adequate continuity.

3.0 Nombramiento y duración del cargoEl Superior Provincial, con el consentimiento de su consejo, nombra al coordinador provincial de JUPIC y, si se da el caso, también a los miembros de la comisión. El coordinador por lo general dura tres años en el cargo y puede ser nombrado por períodos consecutivos (Co. 615). Sin embargo, con el objetivo de crear conciencia de estos temas y de promover la capacidad de coordinación de un mayor número de cohermanos, se recomienda que el personal de JUPIC sea reemplazado en períodos razonables, asegurando siempre una adecuada continuidad.
