Valuing others is justice. The virtue of faith grows our faithfulness.

To have a posture of Faith, we must always be seeking. We must constantly turn our minds and hearts towards God in prayer and gratitude. We must be concerned with what is in our heart. I must be concerned with form and substance. Until my second half of life, it seems I was concerned more with form, how I dressed and looked, the house or neighborhood I lived in. But this lack of substance left me empty and searching for more. God was drawing me towards substance and towards goodness.

Justice is the virtue where I give others what is due to them. In a complicated world, it’s easy to lose sight of what we are due. We get caught up in the worldly realm of wants and desires rather than concentrating on the needs that bond all of us humans together.

If we want peace, we must work for justice. How do I live a just life where I’m able to give others their due? I must constantly reach beyond myself and find my true, authentic self and learn to live in the Spirit of peace. Peace is not violent. Peace is compassion and mercy. It is forgiveness and humility.
