That economists may have the courage to reject any economy of exclusion and know how to open new paths.
Pope Francis - April 2018
The economy cannot attempt only to increase profits by reducing the work force and thereby adding to the ranks of the excluded.
It must follow the path marked out by business leaders, politicians, thinkers, and leaders in society who place the human person in first place, and do everything possible to ensure that there are opportunities of dignified work.
Let us raise our voices together, asking that economists may have the courage to reject an economy of exclusion and know how to open new paths.
Para que los responsables del pensamiento y de la gestión de la economía tengan el coraje de refutar una economía de la exclusión y sepan abrir nuevos caminos.
Papa Francisco - Abril 2018
La economía no puede pretender sólo aumentar la rentabilidad, reduciendo el mercado laboral y creando así nuevos excluidos.
Debe seguir el camino de los empresarios, políticos, pensadores y actores sociales que ponen en primer lugar a la persona humana y hacen todo lo posible para asegurarse de que haya oportunidades de trabajo digno.
Alcemos la voz juntos para que los responsables del pensamiento y de la gestión de la economía tengan el coraje de refutar una economía de exclusión y sepan abrir nuevos caminos.

Dear Friends,
We are here in Rome on pilgrimage and are with the Holy Father, Pope Francis, at his Wednesday general audience. By happy coincidence today marks the start of the Holy Father's global campaign, "Share the Journey," where he invites us to walk with migrants refugees and – in his Spanish comments – "campesinos" – something quite particular to our Diocese of Yakima. Today's kickoff points to a Week of Prayer and Action October 7-13. For an overview of the campaign, including personal stories, click here. For ideas and resources for Catholic leaders planning events for the week, click here. For a parish toolkit put together by Catholic Relief Services, click here. For ideas for social media, click here. Para recursos en español, haz click aquí.
Here in the Diocese of Yakima we are uniquely positioned to share the journey as Spanish and English speakers forming a single Church witness. Let's "Share the Journey" with each other – especially the migrants and undocumented as well as those young people impacted by DACA. Many prayers.
