Social Justice

   I am continually amazed, how one moment in faith leads to the next. Thank you, Lord for all your gifts and all your blessings.

   From the Church’s point of view, one aspect of these moments are Charisms; an extraordinary power/gift/insight given a Christian by the Holy Spirit for the good of the church. I am thinking about this in response to the two-day conversation I’m having with my son about social justice. My point of view is this, social justice is a condition. A condition of the psyche, of mind/intellect, of spiritual maturity, of lots of spheres of influence, all the way to “where it’s at”, if you get my drift. So, thinking along this line, one conclusion could be; social justice is not a construct, not an economic system or political point of view, not something that grows out of a particular system/structure but more the effect of “right thinking”. If we follow Matthew Kelly’s idea, which is, constant learning and the establishment of best practices, then social justice can be the result of any social organization. Obviously, some systems are more suited in promoting social justice than others, on the other hand we have to start somewhere.
