Zephaniah 3:14-20

They walk among us and we do not notice.
They can be seen and often not heard.
They feel sadness and despair,
They feel loneliness and fear,
They reach out only to touch air,
And to realize no one is near.
Who are these lost souls?
Who are those wandering amongst us?
These are our neighbors, our friends,
These are our fellow parishioners, our co-workers
These are our sons, our daughters, and our spouses.
STOP. Reach out, embrace, and listen.
Walk with them, look at them. Comfort them, pray with them.
Help them feel as one, together help them heal.
Let them feel the love of God, through you.
