Podcast This podcast made available from Vatican Radio Message of Pope Benedict XVI for Lent 2010 source – www.vatican.va Dear Brothers and Sisters! Each year, on the occasion of Lent, the Church invites us to a sincere review of our life in light of the teachings of the Gospel. This year, I would like to offer you some reflections on the great theme of justice, beginning from the Pauline affirmation: �The justice of God has been manifested through faith in Jesus Christ� (cf. Rm 3, 21-22) Justice: �dare cuique suum� First of all, I want to consider the meaning of the term �justice,� which in common usage implies �to render to every man his due,� according to the famous expression of Ulpian, a Roman jurist of the third century. In reality, however, this classical definition does not specify what �due� is to be rendered to each person. What man needs most cannot be guaranteed to him by law. In order to live life to the full, something more intimate is necessary that can be granted only as a gift: we could say that man lives by that love which only God can communicate since He created the human person in His image and likeness. Material goods are certainly useful and required � indeed Jesus Himself was concerned to heal the sick, feed the crowds that followed Him and surely condemns the indifference that even today forces hundreds of millions into death through lack of food, water and medicine � yet �distributive� justice does not render to the human being the totality of his �due.� Just as man needs bread, so does man have even more need of God. Saint Augustine notes: if �justice is that virtue which gives every one his due … where, then, is the justice of man, when he deserts the true God?� (De civitate Dei, XIX, 21). What is the Cause of Injustice? The Evangelist Mark reports the following words of Jesus, which are inserted within the debate at that time regarding what is pure and impure: �There is nothing outside a man which by going into him can defile him; but the things which come out of a man are what defile him � What comes out of a man is what defiles a man. For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts� (Mk 7, 14-15, 20-21). Beyond the immediate question concerning food, we can detect in the reaction of the Pharisees a permanent temptation within man: to situate the origin of evil in an exterior cause. Many modern ideologies deep down have this presupposition: since injustice comes �from outside,� in order for justice to reign, it is sufficient to remove the exterior causes that prevent it being achieved. This way of thinking � Jesus warns � is ingenuous and shortsighted. Injustice, the fruit of evil, does not have exclusively external roots; its origin lies in the human heart, where the seeds are found of a mysterious cooperation with evil. With bitterness the Psalmist recognises this: �Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me� (Ps 51,7). Indeed, man is weakened by an intense influence, which wounds his capacity to enter into communion with the other. By nature, he is open to sharing freely, but he finds in his being a strange force of gravity that makes him turn in and affirm himself above and against others: this is egoism, the result of original sin. Adam and Eve, seduced by Satan�s lie, snatching the mysterious fruit against the divine command, replaced the logic of trusting in Love with that of suspicion and competition; the logic of receiving and trustfully expecting from the Other with anxiously seizing and doing on one�s own (cf. Gn 3, 1-6), experiencing, as a consequence, a sense of disquiet and uncertainty. How can man free himself from this selfish influence and open himself to love? Justice and Sedaqah At the heart of the wisdom of Israel, we find a pro[...] Podcasts, Videos Kildare & Leighlin Diocese no no http://www.kandle.ie/2010/01/20/lenten-liturgy-resources-2010/ http://www.kandle.ie/2010/01/20/lenten-liturgy-resources-2010/#comments Wed, 20 Jan 2010 18:13:05 +0000 KandLe Team http://www.kandle.ie/?p=15743 http://www.kandle.ie/2010/01/20/lenten-liturgy-resources-2010/feed/ 1
