"What is justice?" may seem like a simple question. But what is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear it? Some think of punishment: who deserves it, how should it be meted out, where should it be administered, how long should it last. Others think of the lack of justice: disproportionate rates of poverty, higher rates of arrest among minorities, the work load of public defenders with too little time to concentrate on the abundance of clients, implicit bias and racism, who is offered a plea deal, the role of rehabilitation and keeping people out of prison to start with. Both kinds of justice aim for transforming the world. But one would lessen the need for the other. #justice #fastingandprayer #prayer #Lent #punishment #reform

AliceI started this website and blog on May 1, 2012. I am a Catholic who has been in ministry for many years. I first developed what I would call a close relationship with Jesus in the early 1970s. Ever since then I have been praying with people for healing and other needs. It is because I have seen so many of these prayers answered that I am so bold as to offer to pray for you individually through this website and phone line. Archives
