Call to Justice
God’s call to justice has been clear from the beginning of time. The Law and the Prophets preserved a deep tradition of social justice in ancient Israel. Jesus also proclaimed and embodied a society ruled by justice and charity – the Reign of God. How do I see and live the law of God: as a growing horizon of light or as an imposition which limits my freedom? Our relationship with God should not be one of fear or oppression, but a relationship of serene trust motivated by love. Let’s listen to His words spoken to the depths of our hearts: words that are Spirit and everlasting life. And “will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night?” (See Luke 18:7)
