COFFEE BREAK 385
+ Advent: Day 19 > During
Advent we are called to remind ourselves that the values of heaven and the
values of the world are in conflict.
Soon, on the upcoming Fourth Sunday of Advent, the people in many
churches will hear The Magnificat (Luke 1: 46-55) which includes these words:
He has shown strength with his arm;
he
has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
He has brought down the powerful from
their thrones,
and
lifted up the lowly;
he has filled the hungry with good
things,
and
sent the rich away empty.
A
modern day prophet advocating for economic justice is Robert Reich who points
out that much of the tax-deductible charitable gifts the rich give are not
necessarily so charitable. Read: http://robertreich.org/post/69833627613
