Scripture: "They desired only that we should remember the poor." (Galatians 2:10) Reflections: One of the most rewarding experiences of my ministry. is working with the homeless. Contrary to the image displayed in the media, they are wonderful people. I believe it is true that many homeless people are what is referred to as "Mental Institutions Castaways". For this very reason, as Christians, they deserve from us, caring, compassion, understanding and assistance. It is true that we are to share the Gospel with the spiritually needed in search of their heavenly home. But we also must never neglect or forget those who are poor and homeless. Vernon Grounds once stated "A heart for God will also be a heart for the homeless". Prayer: (St. Francis) Quote for the Day Dorothy Day Founder of the Catholic Worker Movement (1897-1980) "Martyrdom is not gallantly standing before a firing squad. Usually it is losing a job because of not taking a loyalty oath or buying a war bond, or paying a tax. Martyrdom is small, hidden, misunderstood." |
