That's a good reminder. Recognizing God in the vulnerable is something our parish tries to live out when we deliver meals to the homebound downtown. I wonder what specific steps the sisters and brothers in Zamboanga are planning to take after hearing her.

Our parish does something similar with the soup kitchen on Tuesdays, trying to see Christ in the folks who come through the line. I like that she called them to be prophets of peace in a wounded world; it makes me wonder if the religious in Zamboanga will start any new outreach to the families displaced by the flooding last year.
