Reflection
 115:   Based on the Vatican II document 
Gaudium et Spes (Church in the world) 
Article 11

 

Our faith helps us understand the meaning of life,
helps us recognize and seek good values in life,
values that are good for building up human society

How faith has helped build up human society over the centuries
is well described in this article about Western civilization's debt to religion

Jesus, may religion, may your Church
be a force for good (justice, peace, compassion, unity) in the world
- not a force for evil (injustice, war, callousness, disunity)
