Upon hearing justice, you might imagine a cold legal standard or perhaps a contentious issue in contemporary debates on civil liberties. But, truth be told, justice is less about what others owe us and more about becoming a genuinely free person. Authentic justice is a life giving cardinal virtue that shapes all our relationships — with God and with others — one that empowers us to become the kind of people who can freely give what is right.
In this rich and practical exploration, Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P., shows how justice — rightly understood — anchors our relationships, orders our interactions, and empowers us to live with purpose.
In this book, you will discover:
Grounded in Sacred Scripture, the wisdom of the Church, and the realities of lived human experience, Justice offers a clear path to judging rightly, giving freely, and flourishing in the life God desires for you.

No, this isn’t your grandmother’s definition of prudence. This virtue actually inspires practical wisdom, allowing us to choose well and to bring order into our lives. In Prudence: Choose Confidently, Live Boldly, Fr. Gregory Pine, OP, aims to work prudence back into the conversation and to explain how it can transform us along our path toward what really matters.
Rediscover Catholic social teaching through the lives of the saints. Follow in their footsteps, learn from their example, and become the spark of authentic social justice in the world today.
In his encyclical letter Rerum Novarum, Pope Leo XIII takes up the condition of the working classes and the challenges facing the world following the Industrial Revolution, focusing on the relationship between labor and capital, the rights of workers, and the role of the Church in promoting justice. Promulgated in 1891, this foundational text has shaped Catholic social teaching and influenced more than a century of the Church's balanced approach to defending workers' rights while upholding the right to private property and rejecting socialism.
Few Catholics today know much about Saint Dominic, who died eight hundred years ago in 1221. Unlike Francis of Assisi, Teresa of Ávila, or Ignatius of Loyola, Dominic did not leave a deposit of writings to be examined and built upon. Yet this medieval Spaniard still has much to teach us today, and we see this in the way of life he left to the Church.
