Youcat commented through CCC – Question n. 302.
(Youcat answer) One acts justly by
always making sure to give to God and to one’s neighbor what is due to them.
A
deepening through CCC
(CCC 1807 a) Justice is the moral virtue that
consists in the constant and firm will to give their due to God and neighbor.
Justice toward God is called the "virtue of religion." Justice toward
men disposes one to respect the rights of each and to establish in human
relationships the harmony that promotes equity with regard to persons and to
the common good.
Reflecting
and meditating
(Youcat comment) The guiding
principle of justice is: “To each his due”. A child with a disability and a
highly gifted child must be encouraged in different ways so that each may
fulfill his potential. Justice is concerned with equity and longs to see people
get that to which they are entitled. We must allow justice to govern our
relations with God also and give him what is his: our love and worship.
(CCC
Comment)
(CCC 1807 b) The
just man, often mentioned in the Sacred Scriptures, is distinguished by
habitual bright thinking and the uprightness of his conduct toward his
neighbor. "You shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great, but
in righteousness shall you judge your neighbor" (Lev 19:15).
"Masters, treat your slaves justly and fairly, knowing that you also have
a Master in heaven" (Col 4:1). (CCC 1836)
Justice consists in the firm and constant will to give God and neighbor their due.
