Daily Meditation: Jesus Hungers and Thirsts for Uprightness

Monday May 27, 2013    Jesus Hungers and Thirsts for Uprightness   Jesus, the Blessed Son of God, hungers and thirsts for uprightness.  He abhors injustice.  He resists those who try to gather wealth and influence by oppression and exploitation.  His whole being yearns for people to treat one another as brothers and sisters, sons and daughters of the same God.   With fervor he proclaims that the way to the Kingdom is not saying many prayers or offering many sacrifices but in feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, and visiting the sick and the prisoners (see Matthew 25:31-46).  He longs for a just world.   He wants us to live with the same hunger and thirst.     Comment on this Daily Meditation.   Visit our website for inspiration, resources, news, events, community.
