For there can be “no peace without justice” as Pope St John - TopicsExpress



          

For there can be “no peace without justice” as Pope St John Paul II has said. Indeed the Gospels make this point concerning St James and the other apostles too. For while the apostles are called to servant leadership, they are also called to mete out justice. For Christ does answer the mother of Zebedee’s request that her sons sit on heavenly thrones beside him. In the previous chapter of St Matthew’s Gospel, he said: “when the Son of man shall sit on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel” (19:28). So, St James will be called to execute judgement with Christ; to rescue persecuted Christians, and to deliver justice, liberation, and peace to all people of good will. - Fr Lawrence Lew OP ow.ly/zzIeZ
