THE FACES OF HUMANITY



Innumerable faces,
all known to God;
created, loved, saved by Him,
all without distinction,
all without exclusion.

Faces with which
Christ wanted to be identified.

To the, God sends us:
in particular to those who are still
waiting to hear about Christ;
to those whose faces are lined by
suffering, destitution,
rejection and exclusion ...

From these we learn
the deep values
and frailties of humanity
within different
cultural expressions.

With them we live
in solidarity, we struggle for justice.

In them we discover
the signs of the Kingdom
already present;
we gather its expectations
which jostle us
because a new life
is coming to birth.
