Justice and mercy are at the heart of our faith, and this verse reminds us of the importance of defending the
oppressed . In a world where the most vulnerable are often ignored, we are called to be witnesses to the love of God, as emphasizes
Psalm 82: 3 . Let our heart be a refuge for humble s, and that we act with
compassion for those who suffer, because this is how we live our faith. To inspire us, let's also mediate on
proverbs 31: 8 , which urges us to speak for those who cannot.
