JusticeWalking

JusticeWalkingCrafted for older high school students and their mentors, this 12 session process engages participants in a spiritual journey and exploration of the radical call of the Gospel.

JusticeWalking (J-Walking) is a three to six month “prophet-raising” process that forms small communities of adults and older teens who experiment with living the Gospel message. Key to this process are the relationships created within each J-Walking community and those they encounter at the margins of our society.

Through prayer, retreats, reading, dialogue, and encounters, J-Walkers broaden their circle of awareness and expose their lives to the compassionate spirit of Gospel justice.

J-Walking includes 12 biweekly sessions, contemplative dialogue on the signs of our times, daylong opening and closing retreats, a weekend justice-immersion pilgrimage, monthly meetings located at a community service agency, maintaining a prayer journal, reading and reflecting on two books together, public presentations, and practicing six lifestyle adjustments that apply Gospel teachings to life choices.

The biblical word for the good person is ‘just.’ In justice, we fulfill our duty to God and to all people. In justice, we find the sensibility to recognize all people as brothers and sisters and give them their due with readiness and open generosity.
