Justice: Judge Rightly, Give Freely

Upon hearing justice, you might imagine a cold legal standard or perhaps a contentious issue in contemporary debates on civil liberties. But, truth be told, justice is less about what others owe us and more about becoming a genuinely free person. Authentic justice is a life-giving cardinal virtue that shapes all our relationships -- with God and with others -- one that empowers us to become the kind of people who can freely give what is right.In this rich and practical exploration, Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P., shows how justice -- rightly understood -- anchors our relationships, orders our interactions, and empowers us to live with purpose.In this book, you will discover: - How to cultivate just habits that root you in authentic freedom- Why seeing life as gift changes everything, including how you respond to injustice- The power of law -- eternal, natural, divine, and human -- to guide you toward a good and joyful life- What we owe to our communities, and why seeking the common good liberates the individual- Why love and mercy go beyond justice, fulfilling it rather than replacing itGrounded in Sacred Scripture, the wisdom of the Church, and the realities of lived human experience, Justice offers a clear path to judging rightly, giving freely, and flourishing in the life God desires for you.
