This year, more than any other, has taught me that everybody preaching about love didn't really mean it in practice. Because love doesn't remove resources from those who need them, strip sup[port from communities, bury history, break up families, justify violence, attack the poor, criminalize the homeless, or hide behind power while people suffer.

Amen

Christ has no body but yours. No hands, no feet on earth but yours. Yours are the eyes with which he looks Compassion on this world. Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good. Yours are the hands with which he blesses the world.

Amen

Teresa of Avila
