That's what the Beatitudes, those iconic "blessed" statements from the gospel of Matthew, are trying to teach us: in God's eyes, these (the ones who many think are of no worth) are the beloved ones.
My question is: How are you personally and the community of faith to which you belong making that belovedness evident in the world?
Or, put another way, how would the world come to know that these are God's beloved children? Are our actions and words consistent? Are we living out what we claim to believe?
What do we need to do together to assure that both the world and the poor know that God's love is for them?
