respond and value

read this and was compelled to share. the body of Christ is vast and all created are important - let us pray for the poor and the marginalized and continue to do so, everyday, keeping all of our brothers and sisters close to our hearts.

Listen to the Poor

When we understand that we are one family, our concern for others becomes both intimate and urgent. Jesus responds in a particular way to the poor and the marginalized. Let us pray for the grace to hear the poor of our world, respond to their cry and value their wisdom and experience.

Oír a los Pobres

Entendemos como una sola familia nos lleva a una preocupación intima y urgente por los demás. Jesús responde de forma particular a los pobres y los marginados. Oramos por la gracia de escuchar a los pobres de nuestro mundo, responder a su clamor y valorar sabiduría y experiencia.
