Reflection
 116:   Based on the Vatican II document 
Gaudium et Spes (Church in the world) 
Article 12

 

We were made in the image of God,
we were "made good"
because "God saw all that he had made, and it was very good"

c.f. this beautiful Holocaust Remembrance Day reflection
which has these words:
"He (Janusz Korczak) believed that in each child there burned a moral flame
that if nurtured could defeat the darkness at the core of human nature"

Jesus, may the goodness in us
be stronger than the badness in us
