Know Justice, Know Peace

The Virtue That Gives God And His People Their Due

BY JOSEPH PRONECHEN

Share

Remember the scene in “A Charlie Brown Christmas” where Charlie is helping his little sister write out her wish list for Santa Claus? Charlie loses heart as Sally gets increasingly greedy. When finally Charlie gives up and walks away despairing, Sally says flatly: “All I want is what I have coming to me. All I want is my fair share.”

We chuckle at the cartoon child’s justification for her inflated sense of entitlement. But isn’t there sometimes a little Sally Brown in all of us?
