“Hello, welcome to McDonald’s, can I take your order?” Feed the hungry. “Yes, we offer free refills. Do you want ice?” Give drink to the thirsty. “This one only comes in a small, would you like to see the rest of our sweaters?” Clothe the naked. “Checkout is at noon, there is a free continental breakfast in the morning, and the pool is open till midnight. Enjoy your stay!” Give shelter to the traveler. “Hey man, you seem really upset, would you mind if I sat with you to talk things through for a bit?” Visit the sick. “Grandma! Can we stop by to see you on our way home from school today?” Visit the imprisoned. “I forgive you and agree that it’s time to move on.” Bury the dead. In a society of famous people, super heroes, celebrities and experts, it can be easy to lose sight of our unique vocation in life. The good news is that it is right here, exactly where our feet are, and all we need to do is extend our hands in service to others and allow our hearts to be opened. We shall become the quiet saints of tomorrow.
Ave Crux, Spes Unica.
