Advocate for those who need to experience God’s kingdom – To advocate is to live out the prophetic call of inviting everyone to recognize, receive, and enact God’s reconciling message of compassion, mercy, and justice – his kingdom rule. It means speaking and acting on behalf of Jesus Christ and his Church as well as for those who are poor and marginalized.
