An Easter Prayer
Risen Christ
No one expected your return.

Offering forgiveness for denial,
Extending faith to the doubtful.
You met them at the seashore

Each one’s closed mind opened wide.
Today: I let myself be astonished

‘Overcoming poverty is not a taskof charity,
it is an act of justice.
Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural.
It is man-made and it can be overcome and
eradicated by theactions of human beings.
Sometimes it falls on a generation to be great.
You can be that great [...]
