Reflection of the Week - 9th April 2024
Jesus meets Thomas the way he meets all of us—wherever we are when we decide we are ready.
Reflection of the week
Posted in Faith
Our population is becoming older and more and more elderly people are finding it harder to volunteer their services. Pressures of work and family mean that too few young people are able to take their place. Where will that leave the hungry, the marginalised and the infirm, and so many others who rely on volunteers?
“The second [greatest commandment] is this: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” – Mark 12:31
If we live by this commandment then it is easy to identify those in need and be willing to give freely of our time and our talents.
Prayer
Gracious and Loving God, thank you for the many volunteers around the world, both young and old, who see a need and willingly give of their time and their talents. Help me to set aside the time to volunteer in any capacity to enable me to help where I am most needed. Amen.
