Squires and Squire Roses Serving at Christ House

Witnessing to the Gospel through service

BISHOP PAUL S. LOVERDE Seeing the youth at work – hard work — is a reminder that the heart of service is a virtue that can be cultivated. Blessed Teresa of Calcutta told us, “…give (love) until it hurts. It is not enough for us to say: ‘I love God,’ but I also have to love my neighbor” (Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, The National Prayer Breakfast, 3 February 1994). Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, in her wisdom, not only understood the meaning of service, but lived it out every day. When we love one another in service, we witness to the love that Christ showed all of us through his Life, Death and Resurrection. As we close out the Year of Saint Paul, let us remember that he, like so many others saints, dedicated his life to proclaiming the Gospel, traveling from city to city, spreading the Good News and serving Christ till his death. . . http://catholicherald.com/bishop/
