1) What aspects of Catholic social teaching that we just learned about challenge you the most, and why?
2) Reflect on the following quote from St. Basil the Great:
“The bread you do not use is the bread of the hungry. The garment hanging in your wardrobe is the garment of the person who is naked. The shoes you do not wear are the shoes of the one who is barefoot. The money you keep locked away is the money of the poor. The acts of charity you do not perform are the injustices you commit.”
How does this quote challenge you to be more aware of the needs of the poor? What is something specific you can do in your own life to be a more generous steward of the goods God has entrusted to you so you can use them not for yourself but to help others?
3) How does the Catholic view of rights and responsibilities differ from the world's view?
