MORSEL FOR MEDITATION

God has identified himself with the hungry, the sick, the naked, the home-less; hunger, not only for bread, but for love, for care, to be somebody to someone; nakedness, not of clothing only, but nakedness of that com-passion that very few people give to the unknown; homelessness, not only just from a shelter made of stone, but that homelessness that comes from having no one to call your own.

Mother Teresa

Stewardship Today: "The earth and everything in it, the world and its inhabitants, belong to the Lord." Psalm 24:1
