ourselves, and those we seek to serve. To join this group, which will meet

When Saul arrived in Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples, but
they were afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.”
In Reading 1 from Acts of the Apostles, we are aware of the
conversion that Saul, now Paul encountered on the road to Damascus,
when he encountered the Risen Christ. Christ implored him to stop
persecuting Jewish followers of Jesus. Barnabas spoke on behalf of Saul,
later Paul, and opened up a dialogue that
no one in the circle of the disciples was expecting. Barnabas took Saul
under his wing and gave him a proper introduction and a proper welcome
into the Jewish Christian community.
Learn, Act, Connect and Pray- In the Gospels, we see that Jesus is
deeply involved with the concerns of individual people, not entities of power. Jesus teaches us to take the same path, the path of dialogue. Who can
we begin to really talk and listen to here in our own community?
We are called to engage in subsidiarity, working with people and
communities nearest to a problem and encourage them as they work to
devise a solution. Guide our efforts, Lord, to truly help serve the needs
of the poor and the oppression, not for our sake, but for theirs.
