Open up the link and watch a short video called Finding Grace. What are your thoughts about the message of the video? Have we become so comfortable living within our community that we sin against our fellow brothers and sisters who are in need of an example of grace?

The image of you Jesus is deformed by our sin,
Because we sin against you and our neighbors.
Forgive us when we ignore the suffering of your people
And violence and injustice near and far.
Give us the courage to confront our fears and
Help us to act as agents of peace.
Restore in us the vision to reach all who are lost and in need of your grace.
Open our eyes!
"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me." (
Matthew 25).
