Q

How does Les miserables show Catholic attitude towards mission or evangelism?

A
  • Show God’s love through doing good actions –> the bishop at the start forgives Valjean & this helpes him to become a better person.
  • Missionaries hope that actions that express God’s love and forgiveness will have a real effect on the other people, influencing them to do good things in turn.
  • Having the right attitude is more important to blindly following God’s law –> Valjean saves Javert’s life, and Javert finds he cannot arrest him. Javert saves him from prison.
  • Showing Love, kindness, and forgiveness are sometimes more important in missionary work that following the rules.

Last point could possibly be linked to Judaism- Pikuach Nefesh priority.
