Fr. Luke Barder, OP, citing the words of the Prophet Micah to shepherd the poor, and the example of St. Margaret of Castello doing just that, encourages us to have a face-to-face encounter with the poor this Lent.
Fr. Luke Barder, OP asks us to think about what saps our faith, and then to have the courage to take that to God in prayer, and ask God to offer us a solution, rather than trying to solve it for ourselves.
Fr. Luke Barder, OP, recalling that God said, "it is not good for man to be alone," reminds us that we are most fully ourselves and most fully God-like in relationship with others.
Welcoming us back into Ordinary Time, Fr. Luke Barder, OP challenges that we cannot access our own worth, and we should strive to see ourselves and others as God sees us.... all of infinite value.
