Bono: With the poor and vulnerable

By Larry James
September 8, 2008

A quote from Bono...


The one thing on which we can all agree, all faiths and ideologies, is that God is with the vulnerable and poor.

God is in the slums, in the cardboard box where the poor play house.

God is in the silence of a mother who has infected her child with a virus that will end both their lives.

God is in the cries heard under the rubble of war.

God is in the debris of wasted opportunity and lives, and God is with us if we are with them.

[Source: 54th Annual National Prayer Breakfast speech, February 2, 2006]
