and listen to what my adversaries say.
Must good be repaid with evil
that they should dig a pit to take my life?
-- Jer 18:18-20
The equality of men rests essentially on their dignity as persons and the rights that flow from it:
In the liturgy of the New Covenant every liturgical action, especially the celebration of the Eucharist and the sacraments, is an encounter between Christ and the Church. The liturgical assembly derives its unity from the "communion of the Holy Spirit" who gathers the children of God into the one Body of Christ. This assembly transcends racial, cultural, social - indeed, all human affinities.
-- CCC 1097
Saint Katherine Drexel, patron of racial justice for the universal Church and the world, pray for us.
