At morning Mass this day a homeless man came to the front pew an sat down. He had a container filled with what looked like soup. He drank half and left. My heart hurt for him as I prayed Lord Help Him. My troubles seem like nothing compared to his suffering.
There is a vast and infinite resource of God’s mercy and compassion that we can explore, exploit, and experience if we are resolved in our commitment to the one truth : we belong to Christ and Christ belongs to us. He, alone, Who willingly died for us, can help us through our powerlessness and hopelessness. He lives in us and through us.
Broken But Not Divided
