I like the idea therefore of living every day, every moment, with quality
While reflecting on today’s gospel I attended a wonderfully inspiring talk by Martha Hennessy, the granddaughter of Dorothy Day. Some brief notes I took spoke to me about the loving God and loving neighbour.
Justice and peacemaking needs to be grounded in a beloved community, Eucharist, prayer and be God centred
Pay close attention to Popes Francis and Leo’s teachings as a call to justice and peace by loving and embracing our neighbour
We must respect what primacy of conscience looks like for different people – engage in dialogue not preaching at
Love in action is “making seen the unseen” which is a call to conversion to justice & peacemaking
Slow down, relax, be contemplative in our justice action, even in the urgency of injustice
Economic justice is crucial to social justice action
Nuclear threat is not in past and requires urgent catholic action
Practice of voluntery poverty one of dorothy most offensive actions –
“we may feel we are failing but that is what being fools for Christ looks like”
“how hard it is to be what you want the other person to be”
