Day 250: Conversion in Society (2024)
September 6th, 2024 | 22 mins 19 secs
conversion, hierarchy of values, inner conversion, justice, means to an end, social change, social justice, society, unjust structures
Before we can see outward changes for the good in society, there must be inward conversion in the hearts of its members, so says the Catechism. Fr. Mike highlights the fact that societies are made up of people with both body and soul—and the soul is often overlooked. Because we are broken, there is a “permanent need” for our conversion, and any society that fails to take this into account is doomed to do violence to human dignity. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 1886-1896.
