THE CATALYST - If you ask, ‘Where is God?’ when you see suffering and injustice in the world, stay with the Psalm for today. Wherever you see the hungry being fed, that’s where God is. Wherever the prisoners are being set free, that’s where God is. Wherever you see the oppressed lifted up and the immigrants and widows and orphans embraced, that’s where God is. Those actions are the very definition of the justice God is always working to create in our world. I love this. Look for where these things are happening, and you will see God. Period. And when we pay attention to scripture, we learn that this is not the only place that the justice of God is described in this way. This is exactly what Jesus is telling us in the Gospel for Today. This is the work of God in the world.
