God is with the Vulnerable & Poor

"God is in the slums,
in the cardboard boxes where the poor play house.

God is in the silence of a mother
who has infected her child with a virus that will end both their lives.

God is in the cries
heard under the rubble of war.

God is in the debris
of wasted opportunity and lives,

and God is with us if we are with them."

Bono, speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast 2006

ESSE QUAM VIDERI - to be, rather than to appear
"Let my heart be broken with the things that break the heart of God."
