Scripture Link
“For nothing will be impossible with God.”
In the Gospel of Luke, the archangel Gabriel tells Mary that "For nothing will be impossible with God" when announcing her pregnancy with Jesus. This verse emphasises God's unlimited power and the importance of having faith in God's ability to accomplish the seemingly impossible. It encourages us to trust God's plans even when they seem beyond our understanding.
Catholic Social Teaching
1. Common Good - A true community is one where the common good is reached when we work together to befter the wellbeing of all people in our community and the wider world.
2. Solidarity - God created all people, so we are all brothers and sisters in God’s family, wherever we live.
3. Human Dignity - God made each person, so every life is important and should be protected.
4. Subsidiarity - God made us to be part of communities, families and countries, so all people can share and help each other. No one community should have dominance over another or interfere in their lives.
