moral reflection is not a solitary pursuit but a public endeavor.
Justice
Michael J. Sandel
When we say that for Catholics discernment is a theo-logical activity, we are saying that it is both a spiritual gift and skill to uncover the presence and activity of God in every experience and decision in their lives. When Catholics discern, they are seeking two things. They are seeking, first, the presence and action of God in their lives, especially what God is calling them to do in a particular situation. They are seeking, second, the action they must do in this situation to be aligned with God's will and, therefore, to be ethical. We say it is a gift because it is given to us at our creation by our creator God; we say it is a skill because the gift can and must be honed and developed by practice.

only among the poor do we recognize the human condition and the historical situation that reveals the experience of the suffering of the oppressed. At the same time, in this reality we meet the crucified Jesus, who died poor, also a victim of socioeconomic and political injustice. Both encounters, with the face of the poor and the face of Jesus, lead us to re-reading Christian theological tradition, which will acquire new meanings within the contemporary historical experience of the poor.
