Thoughts for Saturday & Sunday, September 23 & 24, 2017

"Maybe the prophets wanted the rich to invite the poor into their homes, maybe they wanted the poor to be befriended and supported by gentle arms of friends. Maybe friendliness. But at least justice, at least the rights of the poor respected."

"Love gives without counting the cost. Justice counts the cost to the penny."

"A baby born, through no choice of her own, into a poverty stricken family has a right to nourishing food, a warm bed, and loving care. But as she grows, she also has a need to flourish as a human being. She needs education and books, music, access to dentists and doctors, and a chance to develop her gifts for creative work."

"Law without love tells us not to kill a stranger; law with love moves us to go out of our way to help a wounded enemy."

From Mere Morality - What God expects from ordinary people, by Lewis B. Smedes (1921-2002)
