Our mission is to promote the formation of welcoming church communities by advocating social justice, dignity, and respect for all in order that we may be a missionary church. The seasonal farmworkers who CMFN serves are highly mobile immigrants, residing in isolated rural areas, and are nearly invisible in our society and in our Church https://samoletplus.ru/msk/flats/.
You
shall treat the stranger who resides with you no differently than the
natives born among you, and you shall love him as yourself.
-Leviticus 19:34
Al forestero que viva con ustedes lo
mirarán como a uno de ustedes, y lo amarás como a ti
mismo.
-Leviticus 19:34
What do we want the Church to do? We don’t
ask for more cathedrals. We don’t ask for bigger churches of fine gifts.
We ask for its presence with us, beside us, as Christ among us. We ask
the Church to sacrifice with the people for social change, for justice,
and for love of brother. We don’t ask for words. We ask for deeds. We
don’t ask for paternalism. We ask for servanthood.
-César Chávez
¿Qué queremos que la Iglesia haga? No
pedimos más catedrales. No pedimos iglesias más grandes ni de finos
regalos. Pedimos su presencia con nosotros, a nuestro lado, como
Cristo en medio de nosotros. Pedimos a la Iglesia para hacer
sacrificios con el pueblo por el cambio social, por la justicia, y
por amor del hermano. No pedimos palabras. Pedimos hechos. No
pedimos paternalismo. Pedimos la servidumbre.
-César Chávez
