Part 212. Love and Justice, again

Poverty is not a fate, it is a condition; it is not a misfortune, it is an injustice.
Gustavo Gutierrez 

It can never be God's will that there should exist such social inequalities between a few people who own everything and all the rest who must resign themselves to having nothing.
Oscar Romero 

Life's most persistent and urgent question is. :"What are you doing for others?".
Martin Luther King Jnr 

God is not ashamed of the lowliness of human beings. God marches right in.  He chooses people as his instruments and performs his wonders where one would least expect them. God is near to lowliness, he loves the lost, the neglected, the unseemly, the excluded, the weak and broken.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer 

True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar.  It comes to see that the edifice with produces beggars needs restructuring.
Martin Luther King Jnr 

Only love can safely handle power.
Richard Rohr 

Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic.  Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.
Martin Luther King Jnr
