The Catholic Teacher Podcast

Social Justice, Christ First: Lazarus, Poverty, and the Mission of Catholic Schools


Listen Later

Yesterday’s Gospel of Lazarus and the rich man isn’t just about almsgiving—it’s a roadmap for Catholic education. Jonathan explores why the Church’s historic option for the poor must flow from a living encounter with Jesus Christ, not replace it. We look at real forms of poverty in our schools today—material, spiritual, emotional—and how teachers can serve them in Christ and through the grace of the Holy Spirit. Practical ideas for keeping social action explicitly Christ-centered in curriculum, culture, and pastoral care.

You’ll learn:

  • How to frame social justice as a response to Christ, not a substitute for the Gospel
  • Three “poverty lenses” (material, spiritual, psychological) for classroom practice
  • Simple habits: daily prayer, sacramental life, language of dignity, and concrete mercy
