Service Of A More Human Life Poem by Jordan Legaspi

Jesus challenged the world…

Many believed in God
in different forms and in symbols
through their creed and religion

But Jesus concretized God in action -
the life giving experience:
Drink to the thirsty,
Food to the hungry,
Cure to the sick,
Comfort to the lonely and broken,
Freedom to the slaves and captives,
Friendship to the many,
Justice to all

Many served God
in many and different rights and rituals
on the their high altars

But Jesus presented God in service -
the life giving examples:
Healing to the poor (unlovable and marginalized)
Fighting against the idols who kills (mammon and crown)
