Here is more wisdom from Mother Teresa - "It is very easy to love people far away, very easy to think of the hungry people in India. You must see first that there is love at home and at your next-door neighbor's and in the street you live in, in the town you live in and only then outside."
Mother Teresa thinks we can find ways to
show the love of Jesus by serving others right
in our own community. Do you remember
the adage from the '80s - "practice random
acts of kindness"? I think if we look around
and simply practice kindness to others, we
will become more aware of ways to share
love every day.
A concrete activity is the Habitat for Humanity
build in Tipton. Sign up to feed the
workers! Or be a worker. Or help with the
Shared Blessings meals.
I attended a Diocesan Gathering last week
that talked about Families and the Bible and
discussed ways we might all turn to Scripture
more in our own lives and homes. Do you
have Bibles in your homes? If you do, is it
where you and your family members can
easily access it? A way to get started is to
start reading a chapter a day - start with Matthew
and just read. Need a Bible but don't
know where or what to get? Give me an
email at stmarymaryb@gmail.com or call at
563-886-2545 and I'll be glad to help you.
Guided Bible Studies will begin again in
the fall along with all our Faith Formation
opportunities.
