1 2 ND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME WWW. RCCHOUSTON. ORG JANUARY 19, 2014 This month the Catholic Church in the United States, led by our bishops, intensifies its focus on the poor. We do this in connection with the Catholic Campaign for Human Development. We also do this following the prompting of Pope Francis to live in solidarity with the poor. Go to povertyusa.org to learn more about social justice, advocacy, and charity for those who are the least among us. This is a good time to learn, to pray, and to take action for the poor. Some further reflection: it seems that the term social justice carries a negative connotation in the minds of some. Our intensely charged political environment includes hijacking certain terms and using them to convey a meaning not aligned with or completely alien to it. To go back to the term social justice, many equate it to communism, socialism, or the order of a totalitarian federal government. However, the Church s teaching on social justice must not be confused with these other ideologies. Catholic teaching on social justice can be found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church (1928): Society ensures social justice when it provides the conditions that allow associations or individuals to obtain what is their due, according to their nature and their vocation. Social justice is linked to the common good and the exercise of authority. We are responsible to each other and we must always work for the common good in charity and justice. Jesus proclaimed that the prophecy of Isaiah was being fulfilled in his reading it. This prophesy proclaimed good news to the poor: The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring glad tidings to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, and to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord. Luke 4:18-19 (NABRE) This prophecy was fulfilled in the people hearing Jesus read it. It continues in our day as we are doing it! Fr. Christopher Plant, Pastor
