BUILDING THE KINGDOM BY BUILDING UP THOSE IN NEED

"Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were put around his neck and he were thrown into the sea."

What are the little ones? They are the poor, the marginalized, the women and men at the well, the Zacchaeus' looking for Jesus from a tree, those mired in sin, the blind who want to see, and the lame who want to walk. They are the lepers and the di erent ones who have been told that they are unclean, and the ones who su er from abuse and grave injustices and oppression. They are children who want nothing more than to be loved and enjoy celebrating their innocence. These are all the little ones and they are all vulnerable. Life already brings them burdens, we don't need to add to them.

St. Oscar Romero said, "When the church hears the cry of the oppressed it cannot but denounce the social structures that give rise to and perpetuate the misery from which the cry arises." Why are so many still hurting? We have the resources and means to make things better. BUT-- there are still those things called greed, pride, lust, apathy, jealously, gluttony, and anger that prevent us from seeing each other as people to be loved. Is this how God intended things to be?

God loves what is good and upright. It doesn't matter who did it or where it came from. In God's eyes, the end result is always faith, hope, and love. Those will always unite a person with God. We ll our lives with many things that are not good either for ourselves or for others. All of us have to work to discover what it is, exactly, that leads to the world's brokenness. There are people, systems, and ideologies in place that foster oppression and injustice rather than equity and fairness. Sadly, our complacency can be the greatest evil. Turning a blind eye, ignoring the truth, and believing that we are helpless to x problems, does little to move us closer to the kingdom of God. As members of the Body of Christ, we cannot condone anything that keeps people in misery.

As it is said, charity begins at home. Perhaps a good place to start is with our own households and making

sure their foundations are properly laid.

Edited from: LPi Vibrant Churches

"Anyone who gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ... will surely not lose his reward."

Dear Lord-- Again we pray to draw more people to You in our words and deeds. In acts of charity and gestures of love, we strive to echo the prayer you taught us: to be led not into temptation. Help us to lead others to your life-giving water, knowing we too will find our reward in your son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
