We can have the faith and attend the church of our parents. We can be about God’s business. We can be doing great good. But what if we don’t realize we are fighting against Jesus Himself?

Bible Study Evangelista - Creation of the Body

  The Church Fathers teach that the body is not the “container” for the soul, but the soul is the “container” of the body, and is everywhere throughout the body. This view is reflected in Jesus’ statements,  “The eye [the soul, according to the Fathers] is the light of the body. So, if your eye is sound [integrated, one], your whole body will be full of light;  but if your eye is not sound, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!” When the soul, which is everywhere in the body, is suffering and sick, the body is suffering and sick. But in Christ, man is the subject and  co-creator  of the salvation and redemption of both his body and soul ( Theology of the Body,  JPII), so that the whole human person, soul and body, becomes “full of light.

Bible Study Evangelista - 06 Dignity of Work & the Rights of Workers

Image
Category:  Social Justice   Tag:  Bible reading ,  faith ,  faith and works ,  social justice For us as believers the dignity of work comes out of the whole theology of creation. Work is part of human dignity and written in natural law. As the parables of the talents and vineyard illustrate, every human being is created and gifted with special privileges – physical privileges, spiritual privileges, mental privileges, economic privileges, social privileges – precisely in order to use and work in them as God’s hands and feet on behalf of others, to make the world a more just and loving place.  The economy must serve people, not the other way around. Work is more than a way to make a living; it is a form of continuing participation in Gods creation. If the dignity of work is to be protected, then the basic rights of workers must be respected–the right to productive work, to decent and fair wages, to the organization and joining of unions, to priva...
