The lectionary texts for the Sunday immediately following our May 1 blogging on poverty are the 23rd Psalm, the "Good Shepherd" speech from the Gospel of John, Peter speaking truth to Power in Acts 4, and a particularly relevant excerpt from 1st John, which I'll quote in part:
1 John 3:16-24
3:16 We know love by this, that he laid down his life for us—and we ought to lay down our lives for one another.
3:17 How does God's love abide in anyone who has the world's goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses help?
3:18 Little children, let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action.
