To Promote Justice in Australia

Eucharist is the basis of all Christian life. It nourishes God's people to enable them to live the reign of God through justice, mercy, compassion and inclusion which are all actions of love. The Eucharist is a gift of sacrifice by the Lord for His people for whom he has everlasting love. The Eucharist is the Body and Blood of Christ that is symbolised through bread and wine. It satisfies our spiritual and physical hunger. In order to continue the Reign of God, Christians must not only consume the Eucharist but also live it out by acting as Christ in the 21st century, creating a righteous and just community in Australia.

Through the Eucharist, Christians experience service from God. The Lord serves us by nourishing us with his actions of love which exemplify justice to the community. Christ serves us by listening to our prayers and being there for us in our times of need, such as keeping us company when we're lonesome, guiding us when we're feeling afraid or anxious and His constant reminder that his unconditional love for us is everlasting, even when we're feeling as though we're unloved. This is highlighted in Isaiah 41:10 which states "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Furthermore, from witnessing Jesus Christ's actions through the Scriptures we, as individuals, are called upon to be Christ to one another and strengthen our desire to endow justice into our community. Consequently, the Lord is the Eucharist to us through his actions of love which promote justice and demonstrate that we as Christians living in the 21st Century can promote justice by following in His services to create a just society in Australia.

To live the Eucharist, one must not only partake in the consumption of the Body and Blood of Christ but must also physically incorporate the Eucharist into our daily lives. Since we are children of Christ, we are people of the Eucharist which denotes that we are called upon to live out the Word (Scriptures) to create a socially just society. Social Justice is the act of showing Mercy, Compassion, Inclusion and Justice to the community. It is created by showing these actions of love to members of our society whose human dignity is slowly being destroyed. However, we are able to eliminate this loss of human dignity in the community by living the Eucharist. This can be achieved through acts such as charity, educating, and empowering others to make a change in their lives for the better in order to create solidarity amongst the Australian community. St Vincent De Paul Society is an organization which strives to better the lives of those less fortunate which is founded by the teachings of the Scriptures for instance, Proverbs 31:8-9 which affirms "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, protect the rights of those who are helpless. Speak out and pronounce a sentence of justice, defend the cause of the wretched and the poor." This organization's initiatives to fight social justice include feeding, clothing and housing the members of our community who are facing the hardships of being deprived of various Human Rights.

Moreover, other Christian organizations which are living the Eucharist in Australia include Caritas; which helps towards assisting the poorest of the poor no matter their circumstances and helping people help themselves, Aboriginal Catholic Ministry which aims to provide particular services for the Indigenous Australians
