At one time, we engaged in great conversations around the issues of poverty. At the heart of those discussions were our concerns for the homeless and those who lived in substandard housing; those who suffered from HIV/AIDS; and the hungry. These conversations involved us in Habitat for Humanity, the AIDS Ministry, a weekly communal meal at the parish, and a food pantry. Those conversations have now moved outside this faith community.
Why now are we silent? Why have we forgotten the poor? Why now aren't we filling every moment with conversation about what needs to be done in our day and time? Why have we allowed apathy and the status quo sneak into our faith vision?
How do we awaken from our indifference? How do we reclaim our discipleship? What are the ways in which we may support one another in our ministries? What is the true focus of our lives?
