Justice, peace, and the poor are strands of a single braid that ties all together in the world and ties us in turn to God. The definition of justice I most often use is this: justice is love expressed in terms of sheer human need: food, water, clothing, shelter, medicine and health care, education, human rights and freedom, hope for a future for one's children, freedom from fear and violence, the dignity of work, and participation in society and history. Our lives are made of justice. Our moral and ethical choices are first of all about justice. Our relationships must be steeped in justice, or terror and violence begin to reign on earth and destruction inevitably follows. . . .
This is the primary relationship of justice: our debt to God is indescribable and unforgivable, yet it is freely written off, and our debts to one another in light of our indebtedness to God are nothing at all. More to the point is the root of Jesus' prayer: God forgive us as we forgive all others. That is justice, according to God the Father, Son, and Spirit, the Trinity.
We as Christians are called to be children of justice.
