We all have the opportunity to invite the Spirit of the Lord into our hearts and it is through this invitation that we become servant leaders to those in our lives. We serve our families, friends, and neighbors and bring glad tidings to them and the poor. Of course the poor are not just those without wealth, but with other things lacking in their lives. Perhaps a family member is poor in self-esteem, or a friend is poor in faith, or a neighbor is poor in patience. It is important to remember there are many ways to be poor and we all need the help of each other to truly be healed.
In what way are we poor and in need of help? How do we address the needs of those around us physical, mental, and spiritual? In what way do we make our presence a glad tiding for the poor?
O Lord, enter into our hearts and make us into bearers of the richness of your Good News for all your children.
Amen.
