What did Fr. Andy share this week?

Fr. Andrew shared a powerful story on acts of charity. He characterized evangelization as "going out", however we are able. The circumstances we are living today offer new graces, something unique and particular to be claimed by us in our relationship with Christ. These are the graces of our domestic families and our particular path to grow in holiness in our spiritual lives. Our world interprets acts of charity, kindness, love, and concern as strong connections related to the Church and may ask us, do we belong to a Church group? This is because acts of charity are closely associated with the person of Jesus Christ. As the domestic Church from our homes, we remain alive through our commitment to prayer and spiritual works. In that way, we are called to be disciples of Christ in this time. If you want to evangelize, perform works of charity, especially NOW!

Christ has no body now on earth but yours. Yours are his hands, yours are his feet; yours are his eyes, yours are his heart that looks to those in need and looks upon them with compassion and brings them the Good News and comes to their aid. -St. Teresa of Avila
