December 20: The Virtue of Justice

Preparing our heart in Advent. Read, Reflect, Respond

Read: Love your neighbor as yourself. Matthew 22:39

Reflect: Living in the Cardinal Virtue of Justice. Justice is giving due to God and to our neighbor. When we consistently give each person their due, including ourselves, I bring justice in the world. Justice is how I relate to my neighbor in God. Infused with faith, I bring faithfulness to my neighbor. Infused with hope, I bring gentleness. Infused with love, I bring generosity.

There is no peace without justice, and no justice without forgiveness.

Pope John Paul II

Respond: Lord, seize us with your power and light, help us protect all life, to prepare for a better future, for the coming of your Kingdom of justice, peace, love and beauty.
