Justice and Care


Today, I contemplate the words of the prophets,
Amos and Jeremiah.
What was their admonition?
To do justice and care for the needy.
How do I do that, Lord?
I give my money to the church
And other charities.
But is that enough?
Show me how to personalize your words.
Show me how to love others and do justice.
In the words of Amos:
"Let justice run down as waters,
And righteousness as a mighty stream."
