Z ?
literally: is he alive ?
This is pronounced " dzei ? ", sounding just like the name of the letter "z" in the Greek alphabet.
I use it to ask whether "Caritas" is still alive.
"Caritas" usually translates as "Charity", as in St. Paul's greatest of the virtues. However, we usually think of Caritas as being something we may turn on and off. This is a grave misunderstanding. Caritas is always on. Caritas is concern for the well-being of Haitians, for example, before thousands die; it is concern for the planet before the wages of exploitation become evident.
Caritas is Love, Peace, Well-being, and a concern for all of creation at all times: our duty - a husbandry as faithful stewards during our lives here on "Boot Camp" Earth.
