Blessedness
Today I saw Christ weeping with migrant mothers around wooden shacks and burrows where children learn little except how to fight or from their fathers the way of despair and lethal numbing toxins - weeping Holy, holy, holy is the Lord. The glory of the One is real and lives in us all. I saw Christ gasping for His breath in those churches where superficial worshipers provide lip-service justice to the hungry, then drive home to an overwhelming feast and gaze at overpriced athletes - gasping. Holy, holy, holy is the Lord. The glory of the One is real and lives in us all. I saw Christ hoping in the corridors of our schools, where the question Why is raised and seeds of truth worth living for and dying - hoping. Holy, holy, holy is the Lord. The glory of the One is real and lives in us all. I saw Christ struggling in the home of older America, where the choice between medicine and food leaves them poor and malnourished - struggling. Holy, holy, holy is the Lord. The glory of the One is real and lives in us all. I saw Christ enraged in the face of doctrines that churches promote that separates God from the creation, leaving God’s children in the streets - enraged. Holy, holy, holy is the Lord. The glory of the One is real and lives in us all. I saw Christ dying for the stranger whom society has deemed unworthy, homeless and huddled in a makeshift D.C. park shanty - dying. Holy, holy, holy is the Lord. The glory of the One is real and lives in us all. O Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, Have mercy upon us. O Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, Have mercy upon us. O Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, Grant us Your peace.
