Reflection 325
Based
on the 1965 Vatican II document: (Comments welcome here) |
Article 15 says there should be no class distinction in religious communities....as in the past when "lay brothers" and some manual work sisters were often regarded as second class citizens
We humans have to fight against the tendency to create an upper class in groups to which we belong....inner clubs which tend to become exclusive and divisive
Jesus,
you who said we are your friends, not your servants,
please help religious communities avoid first and second class citizens
