~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Focus on Jesus, not the storm!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Live simply so that others may simply live."
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in
The Wisdom of the Saints(Click on title to get it)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Accompanying on its own is not enough. It is not enough to offer someone a sandwich unless it is accompanied by the possibility of learning how to stand on one’s own two feet. Charity that leaves the poor person as he is, is not sufficient.True mercy, the mercy God gives to us and teaches us, demands justice, it demands that the poor find the way to be poor no longer. It asks—and it asks us, the Church, us, the City of Rome, it asks the institutions—to ensure that no one ever again stand in need of a soup-kitchen, of makeshift-lodgings, of a service of legal assistance in order to have his legitimate right recognized to live and to work, to be fully a person.”
