 We have a listening group of co-workers (of the Missionaries of Charity) who go to the houses of old people and sit down and let them talk. The elderly tell stories to the co-workers of things that happened 30 years ago. Very old people love to have somebody listen to them. To listen when nobody else wants to listen is a very beautiful thing.  --Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

There are so many opportunities to love. 2009 could be the year of serving Jesus by going to the forgotten ones. Rest homes, jails, juvenile detention, nursing homes, mental institutions, etc.. We could minister unto the Lord in so may lives this year. We don't have to be a nun to do this, we don't even have to know what to say. Being there will be to many the love of God. It is so easy to bring hope. It's a good thing to give ourselves away, it will change us forever if we do.
