I am leaving within minutes for a very nice get away weekend, we hope anyway. But like I said before, I will be home for church and am looking forward to Sunday.
I have had this short passage from a collection of Mother Teresa writings stuck in my head all day, so here is some food for thought for you (super condensed version).
And I hope you think that sunflower is as beautiful as I think it is. Think of me sitting on my back porch enjoying my sunflower garden, and I'll think of you wherever you are.
I am convinced that today's youth are more generous than those of times past. Our youth are better prepared and more willing to sacrifice for the service of man . . .
To a large extent these are young people from the middle class. They have everything: wealth, comfort, high status. However, they ask to enter a congregation that is at the service of the poor, in order to lead a life of real poverty and contemplation.
Sometimes the rich seem very willing to share in their own way the unhappiness of others. But it is a pity that they never give to the point of feeling that they are in need.~~~~There are many people who can do big things, but there are very few people who will do the small things.
