Be compassionate as your Heavenly Father and take time from the busyness of your everyday life to extend a hand to those whose outstretched hands are reaching for comfort and help.
Each of our journeys are filled with boulders that block our way and we stumble and fall along the path. Let these boulders become stepping stones not obstacles.
We bring hope and encouragement when we reach out to them and with hands joined we create a ladder that helps us to the top.
Awareness brings us closer to those who see no light in the darkness.
Pope Francis says…
“If we share our lives with others and generously give of ourselves, we also have to realize that every person is worthy of our giving. Not for their physical appearance, their abilities, their language, their way of thinking, or for any satisfaction that we might receive, but rather because they are God’s handiwork, His creation. God created that person in his own image ,and he or she reflects something of God’s infinite glory. Consequently ,if I can help at least one person to have a better life, that already justifies the offering of my life. We achieve fulfillment when we break down walls and our heart is filled with faces and names.”
Be open an answer as God’s call.
