St. Jude On Internet - Preference to the Poor

Preference to the Poor: Releasing Wealth in the Land

California: Entitling Low Income Housing

Welcome

Our organization—St. Jude on Internet—through this web site and our other work, is dedicated to providing low-income, safe and sanitary senior housing by urging spiritual and practical paths to releasing the wealth in the land—the gifts of the Earth—for the abundance and love of all.

In his Encyclical Letter on Social Concern, Pope John Paul II wrote:

…I wish to appeal with simplicity and humility to everyone… by the use of their resources, by their civic activity, by contribution to economic and political decisions… to undertake measures… to [give] preference to the poor… However imperfect and temporary are all the things that can and ought to be done… at a given moment of history, in order to make people's lives 'more human,' nothing will be lost or will have been in vain

St. Jude on Internet is an evangelical advocacy, IRS 501(c)(3), non-profit corporation. You are invited to visit our companion site JudePower.com, dedicated to prayer and meditation. St. Jude on Internet urges preference to senior housing through land-use decisions and group action that release the wealth in the land.

The goods of creation are meant for all. That which human industry produces through the processing of raw materials, with the contribution of work, must serve equally for the good of all. (Encyclical, Item #46.)

All are one with the earth, and one with each other.
Destined to share and disperse gifts of the earth.
Be it city, state or nation, group clan or one.
Whether climate change or global warming,
Greenhouse gases or carbon engines,
Low income housing or poverty fighting.

All are connected,
all part of the earth.

Let each petition, law, program or order,
Be measured by the moral cosmos,
Of protecting and releasing the gifts of the earth,
To make people's lives "more human."

Such is the Love of the Earth.
Such is the Wealth of a Nation.
—Jean Louis
