Solidarity

ARTIST: Br. Mickey McGrath, OSFS

ARTWORK NARRATIVE:

Solidarity is not a feeling of vague compassion or shallow distress at the misfortunes of so many people, both near and far. On the contrary, it is a firm and persevering determination to commit oneself to the common good; that is to say, to the good of all and of each individual, because we are all really responsible for all.
(St. John Paul II, On Social Concern [Sollicitudo rei Socialis])

The solidarity which binds all men together as members of a common family makes it impossible for wealthy nations to look with indifference upon the hunger, misery and poverty of other nations whose citizens are unable to enjoy even elementary human rights. The nations of the world are becoming more and more dependent on one another, and it will not be possible to preserve a lasting peace so long as glaring economic and social imbalances persist.
(St. John XXIII, On Christianity and Social Progress [Mater et Magistra], no. 157)
