Whoever ignores the poor when they cry for help will also cry for help and not be answered. A secret gift will calm an angry person; a present given in secrecy will quiet great anger. When justice is done, good people are happy, but evil people are ruined. Whoever does not use good sense will end up among the dead. Whoever loves pleasure will become poor; whoever loves wine and perfume will never be rich. Wicked people will suffer instead of good people, and those who cannot be trusted will suffer instead of those who do right.

In every life, there are forces beyond our control that overwhelm us, so we need spiritual grounding more than ever. I’ve found unexpected answers in faithful Christians from across centuries and cultures who’ve encountered God’s presence. They are saints of amazement who hold out fragments of the Life that is life. Their stories, disciplines, and spiritual practices invite you to taste and see that the Lord is good.
