When you serve others, Christ is there. Picture yourself serving a hot lunch to a hungry little boy. Or putting a bundle of new clothes into the arms of a grateful mom. Or giving a family hope when you deliver a check that covers their rent.
You might feel like you’ve done something small, but it’s a huge act of love. Your generosity made a difference to a real person. You put your faith into action!
It's tough to watch people suffer and not know how to help. Especially when your faith urges you to do something. So become a Vincentian! Get out of bed with a new purpose every day. See the face of Christ in the people around you. Be the face of Christ through your acts of service.
