We are called to acts of love, selfless acts that may be of little value in the eyes of a stricken world.
Sheila is my friend, a long time patron of Le Café, and a wonderful human being.
"We can, to a certain extent, change the world; we can work for the oasis, the little cell of joy and peace in a harried world. We can throw our pebble in the pond and be confident that its ever widening circle will reach around the world. There is nothing we can do but love, and, dear God, please enlarge our hearts to love each other, to love our neighbor, to love our enemy as our friend.”
Dorothy Day
And yes, dogs too. And birds and squirrels and all of God's creatures.
And especially the worthy and the unworthy poor, and those who are destitute in their hardened hearts being both blessed and blinded by the world, as they are all our brothers and sisters in the Lord.
This is what we are all about.
Whatever you have done for the least of these, you have done for me.
Matthew 25:40
