First Friday Reflection. A different look at ‘Reparation’, Repairing a broken world.

‘Reparation’ seen as ‘repairing the damaged, the mutilated, the de-reverenced’. Gerardine Doherty OLSH. We used the word ‘reparation’ in a sense of penance and mortification. How can it be understood more challengingly now?

I believe that the quality of our reparation would be considerably enriched if we constantly made the effort to examine, not only from the economical, ecological, and political viewpoints but also from the theological stance, the grassroots of the evils of our day.  This I think would empower us to act with greater creativity, effectiveness, and awareness of the real anxieties and urgent needs in today’s world.

A committed and positive reparation.
