Mercy in action



The Jesus of mercy, the God of generosity


I ran across the following story and was deeply moved (link below).  In kind, grateful in abundance for all we have.  Such stories move us to consider not only our fortune but more our call to do the same.  These corporal works of mercy are in action in such extremely remote and forgotten regions of the world.  In this true story, they are happening now in an African region where we may wonder if we could survive.  We in this Country enjoy abundance and by comparison, we may say abundance to the point of near scandal. Yet, this opportunity to reflect on our own personal generosity towards others as the great feast of God's generosity to send his Son among us is nearly here.
