In the struggle to live the Gospel today, IHMs recognize the call to serve the needs of God's people not only through the traditional works of mercy, but also by working with others to eradicate the causes of injustice and oppression and to help create structures that will promote justice and peace and bring unity among all people.

In doing the work of justice, IHMs urge one another to be conscious of the poverty, hunger and injustice suffered by the great majority of the human family and to make choices which clearly reflect that we stand with and for those who are oppressed and marginalized. They function as in a variety of ways including: social justice advocates, directors of social agencies, peace and justice program coordinators, social workers and attorneys.
