We are Called to Act with Justice
Franciscan Action Network: In wake of Chauvin Verdict, Franciscans Cry Out for Justice for Daunte Wright, Adam Toledo, and Ma’Khia Bryant
"I challenge everyone who reads this reflection to open their eyes and their hearts and hear the voice of the good shepherd because there is no doubt that he sees and hears us." Read more from Leonard here!
The Chauvin trial and the ongoing acts of racial injustice remind us that as a Church, we must continue to fight racism and seek justice.
Archbishop Cordileone: Racism is a virus. The Acts of the Apostles shows us how to fight it.
To seek justice and work for peace, we must also seek peace inwardly. Which of these practices can you try?
"For us to truly 'keep his commandments,' we cannot act as if we are standing on a perfectly holy high ground, looking down upon and denouncing the rest of the world. We must apply the Beatitudes to ourselves, recognizing our own truth: Where do I have privilege that directly harms other people? Where do I knowingly and unknowingly perpetuate injustice by my actions or inaction?"
