First Of All, Let It Be Remembered

When We Have Spiritual Reading At Meals, When We Have The Rosary At Night, When We Have Study Groups, Forums, When We Go Out To Distribute Literature At Meetings, Or Sell It On The Street Corners, Christ Is There With Us.

We Must Talk About Poverty, Because People Insulated By Their Own Comfort Lose Sight Of It.

It Is Penance To Work, To Give Oneself To Others, To Endure The Pinpricks Of Community Living.

Whatever I Had Read As A Child About The Saints Had Thrilled Me. I Could See The Nobility Of Giving One's Life For The Sick, The Maimed, The Leper. But There Was Another Question In My Mind. Why Was So Much Done In Remedying The Evil Instead Of Avoiding It In The First Place? Where Were The Saints To Try To Change The Social Order, Not Just To Minister To The Slaves, But To Do Away With Slavery?

Communities Are Made Up Of The Unlovable As Well As The Lovable.
