Exploring the Biblical Spirituality of The Joy of the Gospel

We who constitute the body of the Church are called to hear the cry of the poor in whom we experience the risen and crucified Jesus.  Contrary to the powers of the day, the works and deeds of justice and charity are not optional or voluntary.  Inspired by the wisdom of Pope Francis, we will explore a few aspects of his Apostolic Exhortation, “The Joy of the Gospel.”

“LORD HEARS THE CRY OF THE POOR!”
DIALOGUE AND THE DEEP PRESENCE OF GOD

We are called to find Christ in the poor, to lend our voice to their causes, but also to be their friends, to listen to them, to speak for them, and to embrace the mysterious wisdom which God wishes to share with us through them.

“HERE MAY THE VICTIMS OF OPPRESSION FIND TRUE FREEDOM!”
A RENEWED THEOLOGY OF THE INCARNATION

We must reject the temptation to offer a privatized and individualistic spirituality which ill accords with the demands of charity, to say nothing of the implications of the incarnation.  (#262 – Joy of the Gospel)
