In this conversation, Columban Fr Kelvin Barrett explains that the spirituality of social justice is rooted in Jesus’ example of reaching out to the marginalised and affirming every person's dignity. This belief is grounded in the notion that all people are created by God. He emphasises that Catholic social teaching upholds human dignity and solidarity. He encourages Catholics to take practical actions like supporting those affected by the cost-of-living crisis, volunteering, advocating for affordable housing and fair wages, and fostering a culture of encounter. These actions help strengthen social cohesion and reflect the Gospel's call for justice and compassion.

We cannot give in to hopelessness or be overtaken by the darkness around us. We need to do something. That something could be just like “grandma’s mite”. That’s good enough, I believe.

That experience continues to inspire me today, reminding me that mission work is not just about programs or plans, but about being present, listening and allowing God to work through the unexpected encounters that shape our journey.

For me, this experience was embodied in sharing the experience of Jesus and, above all, the joy of the risen Christ.
