The month of October begins with the Feast day of
St.Therese of Lisieux….I think of her little way of being
God’s Goodness in the world. Like a little leaf on a tree
holding on and letting go and letting God’s call to be
Love bring us to where we are meant to serve with an open heart.
This month brings exhibits of the season of Autumn with leaves changing colors
and weather days with people in sweaters and jackets …like a sign of warmth
and compassion of caring by wrapping our words and deeds with extra kindness
October has a brisk and vital spirit of energy that like the Gospel invites each one of us to
to be the breath of kindness and mercy, charity and forgiveness.
A wonderful, holy and life giving month that can inspire us to put on the garment of…
…generosity of time and presence
…centering our life in Good Samaritan ways
…graciousness of a spirit of welcome and hospitality
May we each inhale the faithfulness of this Autumn October
and exhale our actions with heart-peace for all of humanity.
