If a stranger showed up on your doorstep…
“Into this world,
this demented inn,
in which there is no room for him at all,
Christ had come uninvited…
His place is with those who do not belong,
who are rejected by power
because they are regarded as weak…
Who are denied the status of persons,
tortured and exterminated.
With those for whom
there is no room,
Christ is present in this world.”
-Thomas Merton
