St. Gregory the Great has a famous saying: "Lex orandi, lex credendi, lex vivendi" - the law of prayer is the law of belief is the law of living." Everything begins with prayer and our intimate experiences with God. From those experiences as individuals and as a Church we come to form our core beliefs about God, the human person, and Christian living. Once we pray and form our belief, then we ask ourselves, "How shall we live?"It is in this context that the Human Rights Office of the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph offers this blog. Here, we can reflect and pray; learn the core beliefs of the Church on social justice; and discover how to live our lives as individuals and as a community. Each week we will offer reflections and catechesis on the blog. Then, we will invite everyone to discuss how we can best put that prayer and belief into actions of social justice. Our first entry to that end will begin December 1st.
We hope that this blog will also serve as a place for people to meet one another, collaborate on shared projects, and help one another in their respective ministries of social justice. Thank you for all that you do. See you here next week.
Jude
