To live a "just" life one must take on the the persona of Christ. (That is, Christ must live in us through the Eucharist). Although Christ was treated unjustly, He always maintained His dignity. We too must do the same.
Justice is important because it "makes right" what was previously made wrong. Many times our suffering is due to a wrong done to us. The only solution is to forgive. Through pardon the "wrong" loses all it's power.
In the Readings today St. Paul says that God will, "judge the world with justice". That is, God will make right all the wrong that has been done. As we patiently await that day we must "repent" of our own sins and do good to others lest we become the ones who are judged.
