THE PONTIFICAL ACADEMY OF As the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences gathers for its thirteenth Plenary Session, I am pleased to greet you and SOCIAL SCIENCES Charity and Justice your distinguished confreres and to convey my prayerful good Acta wishes for your deliberations...The Church’s conviction of the Acta inseparability of justice and charity is ultimately born of her in the Relations Among experience of the revelation of God’s infinite justice and mercy 13 in Jesus Christ, and it finds expression in her insistence that man himself and his irreducible dignity must be at the centre 13 Peoples and Nations of political and social life...Charity, in a word, not only enables justice to become more inventive and to meet new challenges; it also inspires and purifies humanity’s efforts to achieve Edited by authentic justice and thus the building of a society worthy of MARY ANN GLENDON man...I would like briefly to direct your attention to three spe- UAN OSÉ LACH Charity andJusticeintheRelations J J L cific challenges facing our world, challenges which I believe can only be met through a firm commitment to that greater MARCELO SÁNCHEZ SORONDO justice which is inspired by charity. The first concerns the Among PeoplesandNations environment and sustainable development...This brings us to a second challenge which involves our conception of the human person and consequently our relationships with one another...A third challenge relates to the values of the spirit. Pressed by economic worries, we tend to forget that, unlike material goods, those spiritual goods which are properly human expand and multiply when communicated: unlike divisible goods, spiritual goods such as knowledge and educa- tion are indivisible, and the more one shares them, the more they are possessed...To meet these challenges, only love for one’s neighbour can inspire within us justice at the service of life and the promotion of human dignity. Only love within the family, founded on a man and a woman, who are created in the image of God, can assure that inter-generational solidari- ty which transmits love and justice to future generations. Only charity can encourage us to place the human person once more at the centre of life in society and at the centre of a glob- alized world governed by justice. With these considerations, dear Members of the Academy, I encourage you as you carry forward your important work. Upon you and your loved ones I cordially invoke God’s blessings of wisdom, joy and peace.
