Change the World

This from a letter received by a man in prison: “I expect to change the world today, not with grand gestures or mighty acts but with a dry bone to a hungry dog, a dime and a listening ear to a beggar, a kind word to someone who has not heard a kind word in a long time. Now you are to do these works while you are in prison: Feed the scraps of your own meager meal to the stray cats who come up to your window. In your prayers and dreams, beg forgiveness of those whom you have injured, tend to their wounds and listen to them, they have something to say to you. And to those in prison with you, to the disputatious and the mean, offer always a kind word, for they have not heard a kind word in a long time.”

Go in peace to love and serve the Lord!
