Liberation Theology

I was writing the prayer for announcements for tomorrow and I was stumbling through daily prayers and came upon this.

Whatever ultimate meaning life may have,
this much can be said already--
life is a call to share in the world's making.
It is a chance to intervene, to contribute,
to enhance what exists
by the sheer power
of one's own presence and activity.
One cannot be good simply by avoiding evil.
To be indifferent or apathetic
to the needs of one's neighbor,
to stand aloof from a world begging for help,
is already to be guilty.

--Robert O. Johann



SOOOOO good. Works for my prayer and my liberation theology quote. So true.

"Everyone said, you need to give him some time. And I'm glad that I gave it to him 'cause now everything's fine. Yeah, he's a hero in disguise."
