We need to live the faith we profess. Religious people are all too often like the Pharisees and scribes, laying heavy loads on other people’s shoulders without lifting a finger to help them. Instead of judging the poor, we should be serving them through our efforts for economic justice. Instead of criticizing those of other races, we should be serving them through our efforts for racial justice. Instead of ignoring the homeless, we should be serving them through efforts to supply them with adequate housing. We need to live the faith we profess. Our faith tells us that we are all brothers and sisters, children of the same Heavenly Father. The only way for us to practice our faith is to build a human community of love and justice.
Adults: What part of our faith do you find it difficult to live out?
Children: Do you find it difficult to help people you don’t like?
