Fifth Sunday of Lent: Jesus Wept
“I find myself perturbed and deeply troubled by a society that can stand silently watching an entire community be decimated by the system of mass incarceration.”
Marcos Gonzales believes in the power of education as a path towards our collective liberation. His pursuit of a faith that does justice has taken him from Micronesia as a Jesuit Volunteer to Los Angeles working at Homeboy Industries as a case manager and is now based in Chicago where he coordinates and facilitates spaces for folx seeking to create trauma-informed, anti-racist, and inclusive spaces across the U.S.
“I find myself perturbed and deeply troubled by a society that can stand silently watching an entire community be decimated by the system of mass incarceration.”
Carlos and the many women and men of Homeboy Industries stand as living testaments to the world we hope for, a beloved community of kinship.
As Adam and Eve had their eyes opened in that moment of our ancestral sin, many in our nation are being awakened by the social sins that have been committed for so long.
