Christ in Need


When you receive another, you receive Him. [...] 
Let a hungry Christ be fed here, a thirsty Christ to be
given drink, a naked Christ to be clothed, a foreigner
Christ to be taken in, an ill Christ be visited,” he said.
“These are needs that arise on the journey. This is
how we are to live in a world where Christ is in need.

The Politics of Discipleship

 As Christians, we bring to God all the concerns and connections
we have with the contemporary world [...]: the crisis of democracy,
the reduction of life to economics and consumption, and the
various roles that religion is playing and being forced to play in the
public sphere. Praying is thus the most political act any Christian
can engage in—richly layered, nuanced, and continuous.

Come, Oh Holy Ghost

Come oh Holy Ghost, come from heav'n above, light of light divine,
Oh come to us, oh father of the poor, You are the source of all earthly store,
Guide our coming, guide our going, as we pray to you,
You alone the saving grace, Spirit of truth heal our wounds,
Our strength renew,  Come oh Holy Ghost.
