Pax Christi - Reflection and Action

Reflection

"We have to ask ourselves: ’Who is Christ, and where do I meet him and what is the connection between his Passion and death in our life now? Belief in his divinity means believing that he lives in every individual and that what we do to another we also
do to him."

Prayer

O God, may the contemplation of your Passion and death so affect the core of our minds and hearts that all our desires, decisions and actions may be directed to your Kingdom of justice, peace and truth. We ask this through Jesus our Lord, Amen

("Oh God, Why: Journey through Lent for
Bruised Pilgrims" by Gerry Hughes sj)

 

  "I have been trying during these Sundays of Lent to uncover in divine revelation, in the word read here at Mass, God’s programme to save people and individuals. Today, where history offers our people various proposals, we can say with assurance: the programme that better reflects God’s programme will prevail. And this is the Church’s mission. And so, in the light of God’s word revealing God’s plan for the happiness of people, we have the duty of also pointing out the realities, of seeing how God’s plan is reflected among us or despised among us."

(Archbishop Oscar Romero
in his final homily on 23 March 1980)
