helping

It can be humbling to realize how much we have in common with those we attempt to help.

People rarely see the effects they have on the people whose lives they touch but The Lord does.  

It seems to me that any full grown, mature adult would have a desire to be responsible, to help where he can in a world that needs so very much, that threatens us so very much. 

I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love. 

Life's most persistent and urgent question is, "What are you doing for others?"

"If you are coming to help me, you are wasting your time.  But if you are coming because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together."

The smallest kind act is greater than the biggest good intention. 

We never really realise how important help it is to helping others, to extend a little bit of ourselves.

I believe our greatest shame is the neglect of our country's children.  The child you don't help today, may grow into the monster that rapes your daughter, sister, mother or shoots a family member for drug money. 

Is life worth living?
Yes, so long as there is wrong to right.
So long as faith with freedom reigns and loyal hope survives,
And gracious charity remains to leaven lowly lives;
While there is only one untrodden tract for intellect or will,
And men are free to think and act,
Life is worth living still.
