Social Justice is a term that has been used in a lot of different ways in our communities. Doing justice in our societies, in our communities, has deep roots in our faith tradition. Justice can be defined as God’s best intention for the world, and we engage in the work of social justice by joining God in the mending or repairing of the world. These are biblical acts. These are spiritual practices.

According to our prophets, everyone has a responsibility to make society better. Amos even says that worship without acts of justice is unbearable to God. The good news is everyone is called through God’s Spirit to social justice in their own particular place, in their own particular way. And when do this, being faithful to the witness of the Church, we also become public witnesses to God’s love in and for the world.
