PROUD

I received an e-mail attachment with a newsletter from a friend. The front page showed pictures of my sister, Mai read, who is a missionary FMM sister in Pakistan. The order run a Hospice for men, women and children of all denominations who are in need of medical assistance. They also run a Day Clinic.

I am so proud of my sister, and all the other sisters and volunteers and benefactors who help their fellow man in whatever way they can.

This is the Christian message, to see Christ is our neighbour, especially those who need assistance. My sister has dedicated her life to this work.

Who is she? Just an ordinary person who has responded to God's invitation to love others. She is not a saint, yet her response is saintly. This is what happens when we respond to grace and do God's Will.

Most of us do respond to grace / respond to love, and often we fail. Yet, God will take into account our good will. This is what matters most.

Be proud of all who love.
