All Of Us Are One by Miguel Santos

  In the image and likeness of God – and nothing less – were we created.  In the Christian tradition, we believe this to be our greatest inherent dignity as individuals, evenly shared among all human beings, indifferent of race, religion, or beliefs.  We are all one family – human and divine… all God’s children and all equally loved by our Father. I am your brother.  Why do you see me or treat me differently?  Is it because God would have me born to a distant land where they speak a language not your own, where perhaps someone raised me under a different faith or possibly no faith at all?  Is it the color of my skin, or could it be the vastly dissimilar opportunities that you and I have had?  But wait, my mother’s heart beat just like that of yours when they first held us in their arms.  Their tears and prayers for you and me have made their way to heaven just the same.  We could have lived and played together in bliss before the breath of ...

Charity and Justice by Sr. Gloria Haider

CHARITY AND JUSTICE Many people view charity as very different from justice in that charity equals social service and justice equals social change.   Also, charity is directed at the effects of injustice, its symptoms; while justice promotes social change in institutions or political structures.   All this is true.   But there are some ways that charity and justice are in close relationship to each other and effect each other. Many people are involved in individual charitable acts that help their neighbor or community.   With these charitable acts they are hoping for social change.   Christian churches have social services that they offer to the public.   Catholic Charities, Lutheran Social Services, Methodist Mission Social Services, and Baptist Community Services are just a few Christian social organizations offering charitable services to the public.   These organizations do not directly separate social service from social change. ...
