Justice reflection for schools: Fr Patrick van der Vorst

Fr Patrick van der Vorst is a is a Catholic priest for the Diocese of Westminster, London. He is founder and writer of the Christian Art website and provides daily reflections on works of art linked to the Gospel.

For the Jubilee Year, Fr Patrick has recorded a special reflection for schools on Justice. He explores the painting Ecce Homo by Antonio Ciseri, and considers how justice means that everyone is able to live life to the full, especially people who are vulnerable or who are experiencing poverty.

As schools make their Jubilee Pledges this summer, this reflection reminds us that a more just world is possible. A better world needs all of us.
