Making Service Personal Reflection“Father, forgive me the bread I’ve stolen from my brother.” - St. Vincent de Paul ![]() The Problem with this is that we never get to know the poor. Though we have been made children of God together with them in Jesus Christ, we never sit down to eat with our hungry brothers and sisters. We never learn to see the world through their eyes. Many Christians are concerned about the breakdown of nuclear families (and rightly so), but we often just accept he breakdown of God's family. We live like teenagers in a high school cafeteria -- some of us eating at one table (our table), while other eat at another table (quite often, the soup kitchen's table). What we miss is the gift of God's new economy. And with it, our brothers and sisters on "the other side." Source: Becoming the Answers to Our Prayers
