“Nature does not conquer the world to God. It never has. It never will. In America, with its vast abounding wealth, its grand expanse of prairie, its reach of river, and its exuberant productiveness, there is danger that our riches will draw us away from God, and fasten us to earth; that they will make us not only rich, but mean; not only wealthy, but wicked. The grand corrective is the cross of Christ, seen in the sanctuary where the life and light of God are exhibited, and where the reverberation of the echoes from the great white throne are heard.” WorldMeanDoeLightEarthAmericaChristWealthWhiteRichHeardDangerDrawsRiversCrossesRichesConquerWickedWealthyEchoesThronesSanctuaryPrairieExpanseConquer The WorldReverberation Author:Richard Salter Storrs
“Yes, the South-becoming always poorer-and the North-becoming always richer ...Richer, too in the resources of weapons with which the superpowers and blocs can mutually threaten each other. In the light of Christ's words (Mt. 25), this poor South will judge the rich North. And the poor people and poor nations-poor in different ways, not only lacking food, but also deprived of freedom and other human right-will judge those people who take these goods away from them, amassing to themselves the imperialist monopoly and political supremacy at the expense of others.” PeopleWayHumansDifferentLightPoliticalNationsChristPoorRichJudgingBecomingWeaponsResourcesSouthEnvironmentalDifferent WaysGoodsExpensesSustainabilityLackingPoor PeopleMonopolyDeprivedSuperpowerSupremacyLight Of ChristPoor Nations Author:Pope John Paul II

“Really living like Christ will not mean reward, social recognition, and an assured income, but difficulties, discrimination, solitude, anxiety. Here, too, the basic experience of the cross applies: the wider we open our hearts to others, the more audibly we intervene against the injustice that rules over us, the more difficult our lives in the rich unjust society will become.” HeartMeanSocialDifficultChristRichOur LivesSolitudeAnxietyCrossesDifficultyRewardsInjusticeIncomeDiscriminationRecognitionUnjustAssuredReally LivingUnjust Society Book:Thinking about God: an introduction to theology Source: Thinking about God: an introduction to theology
