It's been a while since I lasted posted some good Straub... I love this one!
The Cries of the Poor
We need more than an emotional response
to the plight of the poor,
we need more than feelings of
sorrow and regret.
We need to be moved
by grace
to action.
When we hear the cries
of the oppressed,
the cries of the poor,
we hear the voice of God.
Where there is weakness,
there is God.
We need to ask God
to shatter our complacency,
to strip us of our need
for comfort.

to strip us of our need
for comfort.
