Pope Francis explains what a just person should be

“The just man is upright, simple and direct, he does not wear masks, he presents himself as he is, he tells the truth. Often the word ‘thank you’ is on his lips: he knows that, no matter how generous we try to be, we remain indebted to our neighbors. If we love it is also because we have been loved first.”

Later, Pope Francis explained that “the just person has veneration for the laws and respects them, knowing that they are a barrier that protects the defenseless from the arrogance of the powerful.”

“The just person cares not only about his or her individual well-being, but about the good of the entire society. In other words, he does not give in to the temptation to think only of himself and to take care of his own affairs, no matter how legitimate they may be, as if they were the only thing that exists in the world.
