What are they saying, only one more day until Christmas, not quite yet, there are still quite a few days left. But before we lose our balance in all that noise of the public square here’s a little reflection by J.J. Hoff to help you keep your balance and keep you focused on what it’s all about.
My Child, I’ve often heard your question: This
message is my answer.
You’re concerned about the hungry in the world,
millions who are starving…and you ask, “What
can I do?” FEED ONE
You grieve for all the unborn children murdered
every day…and you ask: “What can I do?”
SAVE ONE
You’re haunted by the homeless poor who wander
city streets…and you ask: “What can I do?”
SHELTER ONE
You feel compassion for those who suffer pain,
sorrow and despair…and you ask: “What can I do?”
COMFORT ONE
Your heart goes out to the lonely, the abused and
the imprisoned…and you ask: “what can I do?”
LOVE ONE
Remember this, my child…two thousand years ago
the world was filled with those in need, just as it is
today, and when the helpless and the hopeless
called out to Me for mercy, I sent a Savior…
HOPE BEGAN WITH ONLY ONE!
Rev. Msgr. Hugh Marren
