To be Christ’s dominion, our country must be a place where the poor are treated with generosity and the cruel and greedy are restrained in their abuse of power. Our country must be a place of ecological well-being, where the mountains and the hills are fertile and lush, yielding their prosperity year after year. Our country must be a place where justice flourishes and peace abounds, where the suffering of the vulnerable and needy is heard in the halls of power and the government acts to defend them. Our country must be a place where the use of state power is perceived by the people like “rain falling upon the grass, like showers that water the earth.” (Psalm 72)
