Need

The hardships of the world can overwhelm … there is much to be done … the need is great … the Church an ever-present lifeline for many … food, warm clothes, safe housing, daycare, a quiet moment’s respite. Committees are formed and funds are raised as parishioners find new ways to build the Kingdom … in the streets … wherever “the other” … wherever need is found … on a windswept sidewalk where we may see someone coming, hat pulled down, hand on collar holding the old coat close … we nod and speak a quiet greeting … and in that very moment the work of the Spirit begins.
