Hook: How are we doing?

I. JUSTICE
"Justice is a habit, whereby a man renders to each one his due with constant and perpetual will." - St Thomas Aquinas

II. GRACE
"The posture of the Christian should be one of generosity, not just in giving money, but in time, in eye contact, in smiles, in gestures of kindness. ... A strictly exacting practice of justice is one that focuses entirely on what can be measured and therefore performed more efficiently. A prodigal justice goes beyond what is strictly necessary." - Alan Noble

Take-away: Be a giver, not a getter.
