Today is the 60th Anniversary of the signing Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and Amnesty International has two powerful videos, one shorter and one longer, in honor of this day and for its continued support from our leaders... and us!
"The Price of Silence"
From Jurgen Motlmann's book, The Source of Life (p. 110):
"The poor are crying out for justice first of all, not for prosperity; and we ourselves are perishing from the injustice we permit, even if we are leading comfortable lives.
The hunger for justice is a holy hunger;
the thirst for righteousness is a sacred thirst.
It is a hunger and thirst of the Holy Spirit itself.
May that Spirit fill us through and through."
