Sculpture of Jesus as homeless man
We have an opportunity to meet Jesus in the people that are served in the ministries that help out those who are poor and struggling. Our food pantry and Thanksgiving food distribution provides real concrete ways to do this. If you are in downtown Indianapolis or any major city you'll encounter homeless people on the streets. We need to help to see Jesus in them as well. An artist from Toronto recently presented Pope Francis with a sculpture of Jesus as a homeless man on a park bench. The only way you can tell it is Jesus is from the marks on his feet. Wouldn't it be great if we could have a similar statue in downtown Indianapolis?

decades. Read and listen to more
