We are "no longer strangers and sojourners". It is so easy, isn't it to think of ourselves as strangers to one another-- to quietly lead our separate individual lives, to go about our days at school and at work without much thought of others-- that is until we need HELP. There is nothing like an unexpected event to wake us up to make us realize how much we truly need one another. Just over a month ago we were affected by a car accident. We were so grateful that no one was seriously hurt, but it put us in a place of humility and dependence, which we have learned is most often where God wants us to be. The blessing of this event for us has been twofold. It has filled us with gratitude for those around us who have shown us their care in deep practical ways, and it has also made us aware of our lack of giving to others. How much time does it take, really to do simple things such as make a phone call, write a letter, or share a kind word of greeting to show someone we care about them.
If we all just took that little bit of time to do what we could, great or small, to care for one another, just think how much closer we would be to Bishop Giaquinta's dream of All Saints, All Brothers and Sisters
Lord help us to put into practice the care for others that you constantly showed while you were on earth
