Windows, Roads and New Rooms

Fellow Labourers-

Congratulations to you our unsung heroes who continue to be light in a dark world. Continue to strive to enter into that perfect light. I recommend to you an article in today's Observer by Jean Lowrie-Chin titled 'Always right to do right.' Here is a paragraph from the article "The 70-year-old evergreen Father Ho Lung was lauded by JPS public affairs director Tony Ray who admitted that like many of us, he would not be able to do the kind of work nurturing the destitute and dying, that the priest and his brothers do. There are many heroic church leaders, people like Bishop Herro Blair, Bishop Carmen Stewart, and Dr. Henley Morgan who work with the poorest of the poor and have empowered thousands of Jamaicans."

This article should force us to ask "Am I fulfilling my purpose in the Earth or am I just merely existing?" In his book called 'Something beautiful for God - Mother Theresa speaks' Mother Theresa gave the following response to a question posed to her by the author. "In our work we have many people whom we call Co-Workers, and I want them to give their hands to serve the people and their hearts to love the people. For, unless they come in very close contact with them, it is very difficult for them to know who the poor are."

So I ask us "Are we giving our hands in service and our hearts in loving? Do we really know who the poor are from up close?"

Pax Vobiscum

Robert A. Stewart
