Being a neighbor has been the theme for the weekend. Sunday's Gospel was about the Good Samaritan. Fr. Griffith gave a beautiful sermon about what being a neighbor is.
A neighbor is any one in need, and at some point, we are all in need, so I come to the conclusion that everyone is my neighbor--which is a mighty call! We are supposed to love our neighbors as our self. This love needs to be unconditional-no matter WHAT. Tall order!
Saturday night Sister Carol, our Aunt from Iowa, and her friend came with Luke's parents for dinner. Our conversation turned to helping the poor in Spirit and the economically poor. More people to love!
So anyways, now this is something on my heart--something to pray about!
One thing I will be doing to be a good neighbor is attend a 'ladies in the neighborhood' bonfire tomorrow night. Hooray for meeting new neighbors!
And as Mr. Rogers says,
So let's make the most of this beautiful day
Since we're together we might as well say
Would you be mine, could you be mine
Won't you be my neighbor!
(Remember that one time Mr. Roger's was on? Good times!)
Love ya, mean it!
Be here now.
