One way to figure out where a person comes from
is to study what direction that person is going. Jesus came from a God of love and went to where that love could be made visible: in the lives of the hurting and needy, in the hearts of the lonely and despairing, on the streets of the illegal and immigrants, in the home of sinners and saints… Our road became his path; our exile his home. Wherever we find the poor and persecuted, we will find Christ. From the outside, not a pretty picture, but within, sheer radiance. [Morneau] |
