Justice and Peace

Written By Brian Suntken

Lord, in these times

When we fear we are losing hope

Or feel our efforts are futile,

Let us see in our hearts and minds

The image of your resurrection,

And let that be the source of courage and strength.

With that, and in your company,

Help us to face challenges and struggles

Against all that is born of injustice.

In his 2018 World Day of Migrants and Refugees Message, Pope Francis opened with a quote from Leviticus: 

“You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God” 

(Leviticus 19:34)

It’s my sixtieth trip around the sun this year. I share some wisdom, some photography, some poetry and prayers for the journey ahead.
