October 2016 E-Newsletter

Perils of a Catholic Upbringing

As I walked down the busy sidewalk with my wife, knowing I was late for Mass, my eye fell upon one of those
unfortunate,ragged vagabonds that
are found in every city these days. Some people turned
to stare. Others quickly looked
away as if the sight would somehow
contaminate them.
Recalling my
old pastor, Father Frank, who always admonished me to "care for the sick,
feed the hungry and clothe the naked,"
I was moved by some powerful inner
urge to reach out to this unfortunate
person.Wearing what can only be
described as rags, carrying her treasured worldly possessions in two plastic bags, my heart was touched by this person's condition. Yes, where some people saw only rags, I saw a true, hidden beauty. A small voice inside my head called out, "Reach out, reach out and touch this person!"



So I did.
 
I won't be at Mass this week.
