Faith in the Kin-dom (Jennifer Owens-Jofré)

  To become a people of Christian hope, we are called to feed the hungry, to comfort the afflicted, even to afflict the comfortable.  To become a people of Christian hope, we are called to stand with the economically poor and those who are afflicted – not as voices for the voiceless, but as those who make space for the voices of the afflicted to emerge, to speak their truth, to be heard and heeded… 

  Let us become a people of radical Christian hope.  Let us place our faith in the Kin-dom that is to come.  Let us embrace our charge to partner with God in bringing the Kin-dom about, in the here and now.  Let us follow the example of our brother Jesus who showed us what it means to embody hope in his choices about where and alongside whom he stood.
