Hunger and thirst after justice and be merciful are the options for the 4th and 5th beatitudes. Where to start? Be aware of small injustices. Watching people push ahead of someone deemed ‘lesser’. Jostling to be first in line or being annoyed because someone else got served first. Or not forgiving a verbal slight. Minor? Absolutely! Perhaps being aware of the little injustices will help us see and have courage to face bigger issues.
