where is the church
when racial injustice
perpetuates oppression?
if we are the body
we kneel in humility
to confess our own sins
where is the church
when families breakdown
because fathers are absent?
if we are the body
we live out God’s truth
and serve with his love
where is the church
when devastated mothers
regret aborting their children?
if we are the body
we share the powerful
hope of the Holy Spirit
where is the church
when mentally ill people
live on the streets?
if we are the body,
we will follow Jesus in
redeeming the world !

Sometimes the church is within a voting booth or in the human resources department. In the heart of an officer that helps a troubled POC instead of reacting in fear. Sometimes the church is absent. That is when our Lord weeps.
