Celebrating diversity

by Leela Ramdeen, Chair, CCSJ and Director, CREDI
by Leela Ramdeen, Chair, CCSJ and Director, CREDI

“God does not reveal himself in the abstract, but by using languages, imagery and expressions that are bound to different cultures…The phenomenon of culture is, in its various aspects, an essential datum of human experience.” –Pope Benedict XVI, 2010.

Cultural diversity plays an important role in human development and in nation building. Sadly, fear of ‘the other’, of those whose ethnicity, race, traditions, cultural practices etc are different from ours, often prevent us from building inclusive societies.

Humility – from ‘I’ to ‘We’

by Leela Ramdeen, Chair, CCSJ and Director, CREDI
by Leela Ramdeen, Chair, CCSJ and Director, CREDI

“…everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the man who humbles himself will be exalted.”

The quotation above is taken from the gospel reading for this weekend (Luke 14:1; 7–14). All the readings of the day focus on the virtue of “humility” e.g. Sirach 3:18 tells us: “conduct your affairs with humility… humble yourself the more the greater you are, and you will find favour with God.”
