Catholic Mysticism & Social Justice: Become Like Christ ...

What this episode covers

In this episode I respond to a criticism I’ve received lately: that my reflections on Catholic mysticism are starting to sound like “social justice.”But this raises an important question. What if the two were never separate to begin with?In the Catholic tradition, mysticism is not just visions, ecstasies, or extraordinary experiences. The true mark of union with God is transformation. When the saints grow closer to Christ, they begin to love like Him, serve like Him, and reveal Him to the world.From Scripture to the lives of the saints, the mystical life has always been deeply incarnational. To become united to Christ is to mirror His mercy, His courage, and His love for the least among us.In this video we explore how Catholic mysticism naturally flows into charity, justice, and the transformation of the world — not as politics, but as the fruit of becoming like Christ.
