"In the winter of 1947, the Abbey Pierre, a modern apostle of mercy to the poor of Paris, found a young family on the streets homeless, almost frozen to death. He scooped them up and brought them back to his little dwelling, which was already filled with other vagrants. He had no place to put them, so the Abbey Pierre went into the chapel, removed the blessed sacrament from the tabernacle, placed it upstairs in a cold, unheated attic, and then installed the family in the chapel to sleep. When his Dominican brothers expressed shock at such irreverence toward the blessed sacrament, the Abbey Pierre replied, 'Jesus Christ is not cold in the Eucharist, but He is cold in the body of a little child.'"
Brennan Manning, "The Ragamuffin Gospel"
Let's show reverence today for our fellow humans beings, who are Jesus among us! Love, heidi
