What does it mean to do Justice? Just what is working for peace and Justice? the Bible is full of justice for the poor, the widow, the orphans, and the oppressed. So in the days to come, we will explore this issue.
Below is a quote that hopefully will get you thinking about this. Please leave your comments, I am very interested in further discussion on this matter.
Feeding the Poor at a Sacrifice - Peter Maurin
1. In the first centuries
of Christianity
the hungry were fed
at a personal sacrifice,
the naked were clothed
at a personal sacrifice,
the homeless were sheltered
at personal sacrifice.
2. And because the poor
were fed, clothed and sheltered
at a personal sacrifice,
the pagans used to say
about the Christians
"See how they love each other."
3. In our own day
the poor are no longer
fed, clothed, sheltered
at a personal sacrifice,
but at the expense
of the taxpayers.
4. And because the poor
are no longer
fed, clothed and sheltered
the pagans say about the Christians
"See how they pass the buck."

"To work in the world lovingly means that we are defining what we will be for, rather than reacting to what we are against."
