The Cry of the Poor

Readings for the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Sirach 35:12-14, 16-18;  Luke 18:9-14Thankfully, God loves us all equally.  But God seems to have a unique love for the poor, the orphan, the widow.  I can't pretend to fully understand what that is about, but it seems to come from a place of genuine need.  The destitute have no need for pretensions or to put on airs.  Their cry seems to come from an understanding of what they lack and what they need.  It's real and it's honest.  The same, unfortunately, can not always be said about those with means.  Jesus's parable today reminds us of that.Have a question, comment or a challenge?  Throw it my way at [email protected] thanks to Bridget Zenk for her original score and performance of the intro and outtake music!
