Wednesday of the Second Week of Easter
Reading and Reflection
God so loved the world. God loved it all. After
creation, God was pleased because it was good. That is our
starting point for each day. God is good and so are we.
We are loved. All of us equally. During Lent I
read Fr. Gary Smith's book, They Come Back Singing. It is
about his six years with the Sudanese refugees in Africa.
What poverty of material goods, foods, health and education these
children of God endure. Yet they know they are loved and
they celebrate. It shocked me into being a grateful person,
living in solidarity with these people who I now know as loved by God
and worthy of my care and concern. They taught me a lot.
Fr. Smith will be at Creighton next week on Tuesday and Wednesday and he
will speak three times to the public.
Today let us pray for St. James Parish and the
Pastoral Staff.
