There is only one rule by which to judge if god is near us or is far away - the rule that god's word is giving us today: everyone concerned for the hungry, the naked, the poor, for those who have vanished in police custody, for the tortured, for prisoners, for all flesh that suffers, has god close at hand. we have the ability, we have the means, and we have the capacity to eliminate hunger from the face of the earth. we need only the will.

More From John F. Kennedy

So long as freedom from hunger is only half achieved, so long as two thirds of the nations have food deficits, no citizen, no nation can afford to be satisfied. we have the ability, as members of the human race, we have the means, we have the capacity to eliminate hunger from the face of the earth in our lifetime. we only need the will.
Mean Race Two
When you live in a poor neighborhood, you are living in an area where you have poor schools. when you have poor schools, you have poor teachers. when you have poor teachers, you get a poor education. when you get a poor education, you can only work in a poor-paying job. and that poor-paying job enables you to live again in a poor neighborhood. so, it's a very vicious cycle.

If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent if the unheard, unspoken word is unspoken, unheard; still is the spoken word, the word unheard, the word without a word, the word within the world and for the world; and the light shone in the darkness and against the word the unstilled world still whirled about the center of the silent word. oh my people, what have i done unto thee. where shall the word be found, where shall the word resound? not here, there is not enough silence

I had been hungry all the years- my noon had come, to dine- i, trembling, drew the table near and touched the curious wine. 'twas this on tables i had seen when turning, hungry, lone, i looked in windows, for the wealth i could not hope to own. i did not know the ample bread, 'twas so unlike the crumb the birds and i had often shared in nature's diningroom. the plenty hurt me, 'twas so new,-- myself felt ill and odd, as berry of a mountain bush transplanted to the road. nor was i hungry; so i found that hunger was a way of persons outside windows, the entering takes away.

It makes utter sense to stay healthy and strong, to be as nourishing to the body as possible. yet i would have to agree, there is in many women a 'hungry' one inside. but rather than hungry to be a certain size, shape, or height, rather than hungry to fit the stereotype; women are hungry for basic regard from the culture surrounding them. the 'hungry' one inside is longing to be treated respectfully, to be accepted and in the very least, to be met without stereotyping.

Yes, the south-becoming always poorer-and the north-becoming always richer ...richer, too in the resources of weapons with which the superpowers and blocs can mutually threaten each other. in the light of christ's words (mt. 25), this poor south will judge the rich north. and the poor people and poor nations-poor in different ways, not only lacking food, but also deprived of freedom and other human right-will judge those people who take these goods away from them, amassing to themselves the imperialist monopoly and political supremacy at the expense of others.

Most of the time, particularly with this record, 'the light of the sun,' i really just been standing in front of a microphone and blacking out musically, you know. i'd come back a couple hours later and there's six songs from beginning to end, you know? i don't know what i'm going to say. i don't know how i'm going to say it.

Faith is a light of such supreme brilliance that it dazzles the mind and darkens all its visions of other realities, but in the end when we become used to the new light, we gain a new view of all reality transfigured and elevated in the light itself.
