The other day the Pope's Secretary of State Cardinal Tarcisio
Bertone SDB celebrated Mass for the Vatican's jurists where he noted "with the
beginning of a new judicial year ... we are again invited to reflect upon the
relationship between divine and human justice, so that our consciences may be
illuminated and our actions may, as far as possible, correspond to the divine
will and its plan of love for each individual and for the community of man." Moreover,
Bertone picked up a current theme of Benedict's these days, that is, that of
justice, in which he called attention to the specific vocation of the Church to
be "a sign and instrument of God's love [charity], and of His justice which is always an
expression of His merciful love."
Bertone recalls the Church's particular vocation: being a sign and instrument of God's love and justice
