Social JUSTICE Faith Lived

What Have We Heard So Far?

What Have We Learned So Far? “Pope Washes Feet Of Young Detainees” ▫12 young men and women  Catholic  Orthodox  Muslim “Now we will perform this ceremony of washing feet, and let us think, let each one of us think: ‘Am I really willing, willing to serve, to help others?’. Let us think about this, just this. And let us think that this sign is a caress of Jesus, which Jesus gives, because this is the real reason why Jesus came: to serve, to help us.” (Pope’s Homily)

Table Talk What are a couple of ways you feel like you belong and are valued by your spiritual family? Name one way you have seen that your spiritual family has been misunderstood or stereotyped? Some people think that these two things are what all religions try to teach and practice. Do you think your spiritual family values them both? ▫Affirmation: Love God with your all and love your neighbor as yourself ▫Practice: The golden rule (do unto others as you would have them do unto you) If you were to name one principle, truth, or affirmation about your spiritual family that matters most to you what would it be? What is something you have heard that the pope has said or done which made you think about Social Justice?

Pope’s Address Notes (Before Election) Evangelizing implies Apostolic Zeal 1.Evangelizing pre-supposes a desire in the Church to come out of herself. The Church is called to come out of herself and to go to the peripheries, not only geographically, but also the existential peripheries: the mystery of sin, of pain, of injustice, of ignorance and indifference to religion, of intellectual currents, and of all misery. 2.When the Church does not come out of herself to evangelize, she becomes self-referential and then gets sick. (cf. The deformed woman of the Gospel). The evils that, over time, happen in ecclesial institutions have their root in self-referentiality and a kind of theological narcissism. In Revelation, Jesus says that he is at the door and knocks. Obviously, the text refers to his knocking from the outside in order to enter but I think about the times in which Jesus knocks from within so that we will let him come out. The self-referential Church keeps Jesus Christ within herself and does not let him out. 3.When the Church is self-referential, inadvertently, she believes she has her own light; she ceases to be the mysterium lunae and gives way to that very serious evil, spiritual worldliness (which according to De Lubac, is the worst evil that can befall the Church). It lives to give glory only to one another. Put simply, there are two images of the Church: Church which evangelizes and comes out of herself, the Dei Verbum religiose audiens et fidente proclamans; and the worldly Church, living within herself, of herself, for herself. This should shed light on the possible changes and reforms which must be done for the salvation of souls. 4.Thinking of the next Pope: He must be a man who, from the contemplation and adoration of Jesus Christ, helps the Church to go out to the existential peripheries, that helps her to be the fruitful mother, who gains life from “the sweet and comforting joy of evangelizing.”
