Summary/Abstract: It’s know that, in social spheres today, the virtue of justice have an incomplete approach. For the contemporaneous human, the value of justice is increasingly reduced to the individualism of person, which is the sign of personal freedom unanimously promoted. In fact, what it wans to be an social act, open to community, becomes a way to promote personal interests, so-called fundamental rights, a sickly selfishness that separates peoples from the community and God. In this context, it is necessary to rediscover the justice values and its christian sense. For the christians today, as a person of consumerist society, but a member of Church too, it is very important to perceive and understand the real values of justice, to understand that justice isn’t just a legal and social abstract principle, but it’s a way for our atonement and salvation.
