Rights and Responsibilities

Everyone has rights and responsibilities. God is calling us to help keep peace in the world. A few responsibilities are helping friends and family and obeying God. Ever since we are born and baptized we are called by God to partake in the responsibilities He gives us. We also have a fundamental right to life, the right that makes all others possible. Every person has a right to living a decent life in God. We have a duty to respect these rights and responsibilities but not only for ourselves but for everyone. Everyone has a right to a good education and shelter. In today's society, some of these rights are challenged. Some ways our rights are challenged are illegal immigrants are deprived of health care. Another way is public schools are not able to pray in public and if they do, they could get in a lot of trouble. One other is teachers in a public school aren't allowed to talk to students about religious information. Everyone should have the right to talk about there faith in public. Here at St. Johns the Evangelist school we are encouraged to talk about our faith, it is one of our rights.
