The Practicality of Kindness
As women of faith, we dedicate ourselves to disseminating kindness and care. But very often, we too are the recipients of generosity at the hands of family, friends, benefactors and even strangers.

(shown here) and the other Sisters in residence at Mt. Assisi Place in Pittsburgh, Pa., recently received care packages filled with toiletries and treats from parishioners at nearby Allison Park Church.
We know we so very much appreciate the contents and, even more importantly, the notes and greetings enclosed. Imagine how those in your life also would appreciate such simple gestures of kindness.

As hard as it may seem, if you can muster enough energy to call a friend or write to them, you will notice that you will feel more connected and less lonely. The best cure for loneliness is to reach out and touch someone.

Take a few moments today to reach out to someone who needs to hear from you. It doesn't cost much, if anything at all, and the impact is priceless.
