“When we respond to the immediate needs of the poor, we are choosing to be merciful. That is good, but that is not necessarily justice. Justice is not a response to a problem, mercy is. Justice looks beyond the problem to see how people ended up in that broken place and works to overcome barriers so they can be restored.”
