"The poor are not confused by the image of crucified God: They grasp his closeness to them in that image." YES! Everyday, every minute, all over the world, the poor are crucified by hunger, poverty, pain, and the lack of medical care and education. Meanwhile the powerful in government, politics and business, look for more ways to make life increasingly miserable for the poor! That is why you find better people at the food bank, rather than the country club or even many churches!
