Pause And Reflect: Meditations For Justice

A compilation of passages from the Bahá’í writings on the theme of justice. This is the third title in the Pause & Reflect series. Justice is a principle worthy of our deepest reflection, a subject at the forefront of the minds of many people. These passages are not solely for quiet meditation, but also meant to inspire action—in ourselves and in our communities. Everywhere we look, symptoms of societal ills—such as systemic racism, the oppression of people of color, gender inequality, the extremes of wealth and poverty—are glaringly apparent, and threaten the well-being of people and communities throughout the world. At the core of the message of the Bahá’í Faith is the oneness of humankind and the equality of all peoples. These meditations are offered in the hope that readers will take time to pause and reflect on the issues facing society today, and to seek ways to apply that inspiration and insight for the betterment of all people.
