Signs of the Times

At the beginning of every meeting of the Executive Committee of Justice&Peace Europe, a member presents a contribution to the series "Signs of the Times". These are spiritual and political reflections in the sense of the call of the Second Vatican Council to "scrutinise the signs of the times and to interpret them in the light of the Gospel. (...) We must therefore recognise and understand the world in which we live, its explanations, its longings, and its often dramatic characteristics" (Gaudium et Spes, 4).
