I am totally lost for words. My tears just keep coming down my face. I know people say BLACK lives matter but ALL lives matter. and right now.... Over this past week watching people get accused a bothering someone in the park under false accusations! WATCHING A GRANDMOTHER PROTECT HER GRANDSON AND GETTING PUSHED OVER BY COPS. VERY DISRESPECTFUL Watching my fellow brother scream out he "I CAN'T BREATHE". Watching our YOUTH kill each other. Watching police harass those in the BLACK community or in a MINORITY community. I'm tired of seeing OUR culture! OUR people be oppressed this is not cool at all. WHEN YOU HURT ONE OF US! YOU AFFECT ALL OF US ACROSS THE GLOBE! WHY DON'T YOU GET THAT! THIS HONESTLY NEEDS TO STOP. POLICE NEED TO BE RETRAINED OR SOMETHING. SOMETHING GOT TO GIVE! WE AS BLACK YOUTH YOU CAN'T KEEP KILLING EACH OTHER OUT HERE! JUST STOP IT! PLEASE JUST STOP IT! ALL LIVES MATTER! WE ALL GOT TO GIVE OUR ACCOUNT FOR EACH OTHER! WE ALL HAVE TO LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER! WE ALL HAVE TO LOVE EACH OTHER! STOP THE VIOLENCE !AND LET'S JUST LOVE AND UNITY! AND YES THERE ARE PROPER WAYS OF HANDLING JUSTICE WITHOUT UNNECESSARY FORCE! HOW MANY MORE LIVES DO WE GOT TO LOSE.... HOW MANY MORE TEENAGERS WE GOT TO LOSE! HOW MANY MOTHERS AND BROTHERS AND SISTERS WE GOT TO LOSE! I HAVE A SON WHO'S SCARED TO SAY HELLO TO A POLICE OFFICER OR TO ASK A POLICE OFFICER FOR HELP. IT SHOULDN'T BE THAT WAY. THIS IS NOT COOL AT ALL! WE USED TO BE ... LET'S PRAY FOR OUR BLACK MEN! LET'S PRAY FOR OUR BLACK WOMEN! LET'S PRAY FOR OUR BLACK CHILDREN! LET'S PRAY FOR OUR BLACK CULTURE! LET'S PRAY FOR OUR BLACK COMMUNITY! HOW ABOUT LET'S PRAY FOR THE WHOLE OF HUMANITY BECAUSE SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG!

Did you ever wonder how Joseph and Mary made out in Egypt? Did they know the language? Did they find a community from Judea that welcomed them? Was Joseph able to find work so that he could support his family? Joseph and Mary were immigrants in Egypt fleeing danger, unable to return home for fear that they would be killed and, more important, that Jesus would be killed.

I can’t imagine what they must have felt because I have only visited other countries where I didn’t know the language, I didn’t have to stay, I could return home. However, thousands of men, women and children each day are threatened with death, persecution or starvation and flee to other countries hoping to build a better, safer life for themselves and their families. Sometimes they find welcome, and often they are turned back or sent to camps where they hope they will find the help they need to get to a better place. For some of you reading this today, this is your story. For others of you, you are on the “welcoming” committee! You are the ones that can make todays immigrants feel more at home, or just as unwelcome as they were in their own country.

We are all children of the one God. We are all called to welcome the stranger as Matthew tells us in 25:35. We are told that if we refuse to do this to the least of our brothers and sisters, we refuse Jesus. If we are given the opportunity to be of service to a family of immigrants lucky enough to escape their situation and come to safety, we need to remember that we are being asked to welcome the Holy Family with love.

Prayer: Lord, we are grateful that the Holy Family was welcomed into Egypt and allowed to live there in safety until they could return home. May we always remember that when we welcome the stranger, we welcome you. Amen.
