Transcript of Week Three The Passion & Death of Jesus: Encountering Injustice By James Potter.
All of you who feel heavily the weight of the cross, You who are poor and abandoned, You who weep, You who are persecuted for justice, You who are ignored, You the unknown victims of suffering, Take courage. You are the preferred children of the kingdom of God, the kingdom of hope, happiness and life. You are the brothers and sisters of the suffering Christ,And with Him, if you wish, you are saving the world.
- From the closing speech of the Second Vatican Council delivered by Pope Paul VI on December 8, 1965
Prayer
Reflection
Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.
- Martin Luther King Jr
Some Small ActionsAgainst Injustice
Find an article or blog post about a situation where people suffer because of the actions of others.
Write down about different ways in which you or other people can help. If you come up with only one or two ideas, persist and think more deeply: you might be surprised about how many ways to help others there are.
