Justice stands in the corridor with a poise that is impossible to ignore. Draped in violet and silver, she holds a set of scales in one hand and a sword in the other. Yet neither tool feels heavy or threatening in her grasp. Her eyes seem fixed on something beyond the moment — as if weighing more than just the facts before her.
Behind her, the stained glass shows two paths. One is straight and filled with light; the other is winding and shaded. They seem to represent the choices we face and the outcomes they lead to. At her feet, a dove perches beside an open book — symbols of peace and truth, quietly reminding us that justice is not just about rules, but about the greater harmony they are meant to create.
Justice is a hard virtue to live by, because it requires us to face our own biases and admit when we've fallen short. It means treating others with the same fairness we would want for ourselves, even when emotions tempt us toward partiality.
In Masonry, we are told that Justice should be the guide of all our actions. This window reminds us that fairness is not always easy, but it is always worth striving for. Like the scales she holds, it’s about finding the right balance — not to tip toward favour, not to weigh too heavily with judgement, but to act with integrity so that peace, truth, and trust can flourish.
