Justice for the poor and defenseless<\/em><\/p>\n

Jesus guarantees absolutely that God will secure justice for his chosen ones who cry out to him with steadfast faith.<\/h3>\n

We know from Jesus\u2019 example and teaching that God\u2019s chosen ones are the poor.\u00a0 Christ, the Anointed with the Spirit, makes clear that his mission is to announce to the poor the Good News of God\u2019s kingdom and justice.\u00a0 That is why he goes about doing good and curing every disease and illness.<\/p>\n

Jesus, moreover, sets a new standard because he proclaims blessed those who are poor.\u00a0 He disregards the popular belief that wealth means blessing.\u00a0 He is on the side of the poor since, though rich, he became poor for their sake.\u00a0 And thirsty like those who are blessed because they thirst for justice, Jesus, the refulgence of God\u2019s glory, does not turn back at the specter of a shameful death.<\/p>\n

Yes, Jesus is steadfast to the point of death in the struggle against sin and in favor of justice.\u00a0 He gives us a model to follow so that we may do likewise, with our eyes fixed on him.<\/p>\n

Jesus\u2019 unflagging perseverance<\/h4>\n

Those who focus on Jesus ponder his unflagging perseverance.\u00a0 As a consequence, they recognize that they too have to persevere, without getting weary, without losing heart, so that they may also reign with the Leader and Perfecter of their faith.\u00a0 In imitation of him, therefore, they offer prayers with loud cries and tears to the one who is able to save them.\u00a0 Their praying hands remain steady at all times. \u00a0\u00a0They likewise keep listening to the Word that equips them perfectly for every good work.<\/p>\n

Indeed, such mystics prove themselves through their thirst for justice that is translated into good works.\u00a0 Those who have burning thirst for justice do not quench it by simply resigning themselves to an unjust situation.\u00a0 Nor do they let themselves die of such thirst.\u00a0 Rather, they do as the widow.\u00a0 She keeps bothering the dishonest judge by telling him relentlessly, \u201cRender a just decision for me against my adversary.\u201d<\/p>\n

True mystics persist in proclaiming the just Word, whether convenient or inconvenient.\u00a0 And they worry more about enlarging God\u2019s kingdom than adding to their possessions (SV.EN III:527<\/a>).\u00a0 They know besides what they ought to do so that their liturgies may not end up loathsome in God\u2019s eyes. They make justice their aim; they redress the wronged, hear the orphan\u2019s plea and defend the widow.<\/p>\n

Be mindful, Lord, of those who devote themselves to the cause of your kingdom and justice.\u00a0 May worldly opposition not deter them from their aim.<\/em><\/p>\n
