Jim Wallis: Images of God


At times I think the truest image of God 
today is a black inner-city grandmother in the U.S. 
or a mother of the disappeared in Argentina 
or the women who wake up early to make tortillas 
in refugee camps.  They all weep for their children and 
in their compassionate tears arises the political action that 
changes the world.  The mothers show us that it is 
the experience of touching the pain of others 
 that is the key to change.
