Vocabulary
Common Good: The sum total of social conditions that allow the people, either as groups or as individuals, to reach their fulfillment more fully and more easily. It concerns the life of all rather than only a few and requires respect for the person, the social well-being and development of the group itself, and peace.
Kingdom of God: God’s reign or rule over all things. During His public ministry, Jesus proclaimed that the Kingdom of God was at hand. The Church is the seed, or beginning, of the Kingdom here on earth. The Kingdom will be fulfilled in Heaven
