Okay, I confess.  I haven’t finished reading Pope Benedict’s encyclical “Caritas in Veritate”…yet.  I’ve got one more chapter to go, on “The Development of Peoples and Technology.”  I’m hoping the Holy Father puts in a good word for blogging!

But in the meantime I wanted to share an inspiring reflection from my colleague Fr. David Garcia.  Published July 31, by Today’s Catholic, the Archdiocesan newspaper of San  Antonio , this article helps us see how our daily routines can play an important role in pursuing the values of Pope Benedict’s latest teach on solidarity.

Fr. David has traveled to Nicaragua as a member of our Global Fellows program and learned directly from farmers the importance of economic justice.  Read his thoughts on the encyclical and Fair Trade here.
