I am continually\namazed, how one moment in faith leads to the next. Thank you, Lord for all your\ngifts and all your blessings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the Church\u2019s\npoint of view, one aspect of these moments are Charisms; an extraordinary\npower\/gift\/insight given a Christian by the Holy Spirit for the good of the\nchurch. I am thinking about this in response to the two-day conversation I\u2019m\nhaving with my son about social justice. My point of view is this, social justice\nis a condition. A condition of the psyche, of mind\/intellect, of spiritual\nmaturity, of lots of spheres of influence, all the way to \u201cwhere it\u2019s at\u201d, if\nyou get my drift. So, thinking along this line, one conclusion could be; social\njustice is not a construct, not an economic system or political point of view,\nnot something that grows out of a particular system\/structure but more the\neffect of \u201cright thinking\u201d. If we follow Matthew Kelly\u2019s idea, which is,\nconstant learning and the establishment of best practices, then social justice\ncan be the result of any social organization. Obviously, some systems are more\nsuited in promoting social justice than others, on the other hand we have to\nstart somewhere. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
