WEEKLY RECTOR’S MESSAGE – January 26th
WEEKLY RECTOR’S MESSAGE – January 26th – Fr. Thomas
There was a little girl who had a very large collection of dolls heaped on her bed. A guest in her room one day asked her “Do you love dolls?” Then with tender loving care she spread out the whole collection for the guest to inspect and admire. The guest asked her, “Which doll do you love the most?” She hesitated, then said, “Promise not to laugh if I tell you.” He promised. She picked a ragged doll with a broken nose whose hair had mostly come off, and one arm and leg were missing. “This is the one.” “Why?” the visitor asked.” “Because if I didn’t love this one, nobody else would.”
Jesus calls us to love the ones in this world that nobody else will love. Jesus calls us to reach out to the lonely, to the hun
gry, to the sick, to the ones in prison, to the disabled, to the forsaken, to the needy, to all of those people who need to hear that someone indeed does love them; and that someone is Jesus Christ.
Love will find a way, but indifference will find an excuse. When we show kindness to those who can repay us, it’s called networking. When we show kindness with no thought of repayment, it’s called love.
