A MESSAGE FROM OUR MINISTER

God’s Tears

 God’s tears lie on the cheeks

of shamed, weak people.

Let me wipe away his lament.

 He in whose veins there whirls

A quiet shudder before God,

Let him kiss the nails of a pauper.

 To the worm crushed under-foot,

God calls out ‘My holy martyr!’

 The sins of the poor are more beautiful

than the good deeds of the rich.

 Abraham Joshua Heschel

1907 – 1972

Dear friends

Heschel was a Jewish philsopher

He famously joined Martin Luther King in his protest against racism in United States.

For me this poem summarises the biblical message. God wipes away our tears of shame. Let us wipe away some of those of others.

With Many blessings

Uta
