Reflection:   Brief quiet time to reflect on the reading

Quiet Time: Take 30 minutes to reflect on what God is saying to you in today's prayer and readings. Use the following questions as a possible guide, or simply allow the Spirit to speak to you.

-   In what ways do you combat the poverty you encounter in your ministry and beyond?

-   How do you go about responding to the discrimination and prejudice you encounter?

-   In what ways do you contribute to/hinder social and economic justice?

Sharing: As a follow up to your quiet time, share with your Brothers in Community the fruits of your reflection. What is God saying to you about Social and Economic Justice!
