Jeremiah 17:5-10, Ps 1, Luke 16:19-31

Our mission

“We only continue the mission of Christ when we get involved in the lives of the poor, when we reach out to them in their pain, when we try to meet their needs. This cannot happen if we separate ourselves from the poor.

“The human person in the world is a social, economic and political being. … The Kingdom does not exist outside these structures, but within them.” Fr John Prager CM, Society of St Vincent de Paul National Council of New Zealand Handbook.

Dear Lord, may I be your servant, and serve your people as you would serve them yourself.
