The idea is at the beginning of John’s Gospel. John’s good news is that the Creator is in all that is created.
“In the beginning was the Word, and
the Word was with God, and the Word was God. This same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by it, and without it was
made nothing that was made. In it was
life, and the life was the light of all.
And that light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome
it.” (John 1:1-5)
The creator
in all is the Light of the universe – the guide to justice and happiness. The Light
is called Messiah or Christ the Savior. As an authentic and immediate representation
of consciousness of Messiah or Christ the Savior, the feminine form is often
instinctively used. George Floyd called
out ‘Mama’ as he was murdered.
In our
pursuit of justice let our action be inspired by the following litany:
Dorothy Day - Queen of Peace
Dolores Huerta - Our Lady of Guadalupe
Rosa Parks - Mother of Sorrows
Simone Wiel - Tower of David
Mildred Harnack - Mirror of Justice
Edith Stein - Seat of Wisdom
Sojourner Truth - Comforter of the Afflicted
Eleanor Roosevelt - Health of the Sick
Malala Yousafzai - Cause of our Joy
Dorothy Stang - Morning Star.
As the psalm
says, justice is God’s work. (Ps. 96:13)
