Where is the love?

When our neighbors live on the street wandering from place to place…
where is the love?

When powerful men use their power for sexual favors…
where is the love?

When our neighbors turn to narcotics because life holds so little hope for them…
where is the love?

When medical care is neglected because it just costs too much…
where is the love?

When shooters come into churches and gun down worshipers…
where is the love?

When Jesus speaks truth to power, loves fully, and is crucified for it…
where is the love?

Holy One, We don’t understand! It makes no sense! God who dreams of loving community for all humanity, help us to understand! Move us in this hour to do our part to heal our culture and bring your kin_dom to earth. Amen.
