Where is God? If we answer that question, it’s often answered in some very expected way – “in my heart”, or something like that. Not bad for sure, better there than not, right? But have you thought of seeing Jesus in the ones we middle-class suburbanites rarely see… the broken of our culture; the poor, the people from inner-city neighborhoods, the drug addict (whether middle-class or not), the inmate, the homeless?
“We must not seek the child Jesus in the pretty figures of our Christmas cribs. We must seek him among the undernourished children who have gone to bed with nothing to eat, among the poor newsboys who will sleep covered with newspapers in doorways” – Archbishop Oscar Romero, December 24th, 1979
Why? Why must we seek Jesus there?
