=Step 1= Reflect on and answer the following questions in an essay:
 * 1) What is the poverty rate in your state? In your county? Does this surprise you? Poverty, meaning the state of being extremely poor, is a major problem in the United States. The poverty rate in Florida is 17% and the Hillsborough county poverty rate is 19.1%. This means that almost one out of five living adult is in poverty. Yes, this did surprise me because you do not notice that there is a vast number of poor people in the county of Hillsborough. Reading and thinking through the website --a website showing the poverty rates through the country and showing the problems and damage it has done to out economy --it has helped me think about the extra things that I have and what another maybe cannot afford and/or cannot get. Maybe learning from the poverty rate in Hillsborough County, Florida, I will now recognize the major problem around me and it will inspire me to give more to other and maybe not to gloat about what I have and what others don't.
 * 2) What are the ways that you show love and walk humbly in your life with God?
 * 3) How does CCHD show their work for justice? Why does CCHD believe it is important for local groups or communities to be involved in the issues affecting the daily lives of people living in poverty? The CCHD stands for the Catholic Campaign for Human Development. This organization was established in 1970 by The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. This organization has two main purposes: to help low income families make major decision their lives, families, and community.

CCHD ( Catholic Campaign for Human Development) believe it is important to be involved in the issues affecting the daily lives of people living in poverty because they believe that everyone deserve have a equal life and an equal chance to a high social life like everyone else. The Eucharist, celebrated as a community, teaches us about human dignity, calls us to the right relationship with God, ourselves and others. They help spread the word of god to the people in poverty and make them into followers of God.
