The Sermon on the Mount pushes the idea that no one person can be meaningfully whole in isolation. Every single creation is a purposeful piece to the Divine Puzzle. As such, we are summoned to sacrificially, mercifully, and lovingly interdepend in order to meet the accidental/ intentional needs and inadequacies of every one, inclusive of the “I”. They are abundant, if only we pay attention!
This time of year is a hard time to wonder how many people are without a place on the cold of night. On Sunday morning when I went to set up for Mass a man was in the church. He had slept under the stairs next to the church. My son was with me and stayed with me till others came. I asked Jesus to care for him and trust that He did.
Broken But Not Divided
