Jesus' Justice
Liturgical reflection:
Today's reading speaks to justice. Jesus' understanding of justice and our obtainment of it centers on the poor, hungry and brokenhearted, the fallen, i.e. US! Even better, Jesus starts prescribing what a just world, what heaven on earth looks like (paraphrase): The lions will eat hay with the oxen!
This is totally at odds with our world and our practices. But He hints at how we can turn around and love him and all of our brothers and sisters.
All we have to do is turn to him, have a healthy 'fear' of Him, where we acknowledge His role as the creator, the special gifts He has given us and ask Him for guidance along our spiritual, life's path.
This is true justice, when we all look to God for guidance, for it is in doing His will that we are doing our special mission, what the Lord made us for. This means our vocation as a married person, single person, religious is being lived as He defines it.
Are you living the way God wants you to?
Amen.
