The  Peace and Justice Commission of the Dominican Order has produced five workbooks to assist their brothers and sisters, and all concerned, to become more aware of the resources, the stories and the techniques for pursuing justice and peace issues in our day. It is easier to navigate the text using the individual books rather than downloading the whole file which needs to be unzipped.

This is just one of the many resources from the Education for Justice website

Although this resource is mainly intended for personal reflection, it could be easily adapted for use by a group.

This resource from the Bread for the World website offers three reflections using texts from the prophets and pictures and situations of poor people in our world today.  The reflections are suitable for discussion or private reflection.  There are discussion questions included.

Stories Converse

This is  weekly faith sharing material with solid, scholarly exegesis and reflection questions for a small group or for individual reflection.  The material is written from the perspective that our faith is alive, vibrant and growing.  As with any living thing, we must nurture and continue to develop our faith in order for it to thrive. We also believe that our faith is to be lived, that being people of faith requires an active response and a structuring of our lives to reflect the faith we profess. There is a small fee for the service.
