It is found in every time an offense is forgiven, every time a stranger is made welcome, every time an enemy is embraced, every time the least among us is lifted up, every time the law is made to serve justice, every time a prophetic voice is raised against injustice, every time the law and the prophets are summed up by love.
From time to time, the figures of Jesus, or fragments of his figure, appear here or there in individual lives, showing up sometimes in people who burn with a prophetic passion, sometimes in people of inordinate compassion and forgiveness. When this happen, we are likely to mistake such people as mad or weak, which in a sense they are--mad with the folly of the cross, weak with the weakness of God."
John D. Caputo
