"And what does the Lord require of thee? To do justice, to love mercy and walk humbly with your God." Micah 6:8
I need some help. I came upon this verse in an article I was reading and I want to know more about "justice". Not worldy justice, of course, but Orthodox justice. How do I as a Christian "do justice"? More specific questions follow. I would appreciate your input and any references you may know of where I can find out for myself:
1)What is Godly justice?(from an Orthodox perspective i.e. Church Fathers etc.
2)When there is a lack of justice, how do we as Orthodox Christians humbly approach it?(any monastic stories? Again, assuming this is what the Saint was actaully fighting for, this idea of "Godly justice".
Your comments would be greatly appreciated.
