Elections

Sorry to disappoint. This is not at all political and has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with yesterday’s happenings.
However, let us all pray for unity, wisdom, divine guidance and that our merciful Father will continue to bless our elected officials and this the land we all love.
As we pray for His blessings, have we have elected to take a preferential option for His poor?
This reminds me very much of those jokes, and they come in many guises, that keep talking about: “if (so and so) happens, then you will have two choices….”
I am sure that you have heard even one of them.
For us my brothers, we too have two choices. But, they are so inextricably linked, that they really come down to one (sounds like two, but it is really one): “Love of God and love of neighbor”. NB it’s “and” not “or” (love of neighbor).
We here at Food For The Poor use our best endeavors to put the practical spin on love of neighbor by reaching out to the poorest of the poor. This outreach, my brothers, is not only answering the call for charity, but also that of justice.
Please, let us elect to use your best endeavors to help our brothers and sisters in need.
