Respect Life Corner- “Let us not sleep as the rest do, but let us stay
alert and be sober.” In the Second Reading, Paul has a “call for action”
directed to his community of believers, the Thessalonians, and now to us.
Paul warns of complacency before it’s too late. Living in a state of inertia
today, by choosing a life of entertainment, comfort and ease can very
well cost us life with Christ later. Paul urges us to “keep the faith” now,
knowing that Christ is coming back. It is not for us to know when, but
to be ready. As we examine our priorities and our lifestyles, we must
think of Christ’s model of agape love-willing the good of the other. As we
labor in the Lord’s vineyard together, we are called to serve our brothers
and sisters, to care for them, as Christ is alive in each one of us. By serving others, we serve Him, who is Love Eternal.
Learn, Act, Connect and Pray-As the days grow shorter and colder,
dark nights surround us. What are ways we can reach out and make a difference? One way, is to donate clean, extra clothing and items that
are in good condition, for those who have very little. In our diocese, two
of the poorest cities in Illinois are here in our midst. At the St. Vincent
Drop-In Shelter 8880 West Main, consider donating tooth paste, soap,
closed-toed shoes in good condition and jeans of all sizes. The homeless
are allowed to “shop” in a free store after check in. Perhaps our prayers
and donations in acts of agape love can provide support and make
someone’s day a bit brighter. We are the arms of Christ, His co-worker in the vineyard, until He comes again in all His glory.
