An Other-Centered Approach to Justice
Our call in justice work is to be other-centered, not self-centered—ensuring that the needs of the community are prioritized above our own desires to serve.

What else does God have to do to prove that God loves us and will protect us in turbulent storms? What will it take to truly have faith?
Today’s readings call us back to our roots, to our why. What is your why? Where did it all begin for you? God is waiting for us there.
