Lectio Divina
A man is a man, no more, no less. The awareness of this fact marks the supreme moment of human dignity.
Howard Thurman
The Lord is a God who avenges.
O God who avenges, shine forth.
Rise up, Judge of the earth;
Pay back to the proud what they deserve.
How long, oh Lord?
How long will the wicked be jubilant?
Psalm 94
Prayer
an unjust killing
from the violent hands
of tax funded state officials
is at the heart
of my religion
the sound of anger
a persistent lament
is the dominant prayer
of the Hebrew people
christ
you were well acquainted
with desperate prayers
for kingdom come
christ
you entered
the sorrows born
of injustice
and you wept
lord i ask
mourn with us
create beauty
through the raw material
of these anguished cries
for Lorenzo and his family
for the well being
of my immigrant siblings
oh lord
in your mercy
maranatha
Blessing
Dear Friend
May you be a light in this world
In the Name of Christ
Amen
