“The living see infinity; the finality may be seen only by the dead. In the meantime, love and suffer, hope and meditate. Woe, alas, to those who have loved only bodies, forms, appearances! Death will rob them of everything. Try to love souls, you will find them again.” - Victor Hugo, Les Miserables

Lord, You created us to walk in unity,
to carry each other’s burdens and rejoice together in truth.
We confess where we’ve held back mercy,
where we’ve turned our eyes from the hurting.
You said, love thy neighbor or you don't love God.
We take You at Your word.

One of the oldest forms of religious hypocrisy is people using God to justify the kind of actions against others that they themselves would cry out to God in agony if those same actions were carried out against them.

It will always baffle me how easily people will believe that the poor, the sick, the marginalized, and the immigrant are the cause of all their problems, rather than the people in the most powerful positions in their country who refuse to fix problems and exploit them instead.

You can’t support and celebrate mistreatment and cruelty towards your fellow human beings and follow Jesus at the same time.
They are diametrically opposed to one another.
You can follow cruelty or Jesus, but you can’t do both. You take Jesus’ name in vain when you try to.
