God is at work

God is at work
Where
We are not looking
What a delight !

Loving Care

THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW

The favorite Gospel of early Catholic Christianity
Most quoted by the Church Fathers
Reminds us yet again of
The ultimate importance
Of
Ordinary day to day kindness
In other words
Loving care for the needy
Is
Not extra credit for heaven
Loving care for the needy
Is
The
Essence of Faith.

What if?

What if?

If every deed of love I did

Were a crimson rose near the manger bed,

Would there be enough for a small bouquet

Or a carpet of color to brighten the hay?

If every prayer I prayed for others

Became one stitch in the Baby's covers,

When the north wind blew,

how warm would he be,

If wrapped in a blanket woven by me?

Phyllis Lee, Sebring, Ohio
