Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you. Help Now >

The Prophet Jeremiah referred to Christ as an "upright branch," proclaiming that He will reign as king, doing justice, wise and upright. (See: Jeremiah 23:5)
Justice is a cardinal virtue. It is a moral quality or habit which sees that perfects our will and see that each person gets all they are due. We should get what we deserve. Unfortunately, justice is a rare thing. Humans are imperfect, so our justice is often corrupted. But that doesn't mean we should not try!
For reflection, let us consider an injustice in our world. Let us contemplate what we can do to treat others fairly, and to correct injustice where we find it.
Let us pray:
O Leader of the House of Israel,giver of the Law to Moses on Sinai:come to rescue us with your mighty power!
