Feeding the homeless on Easter sunday has been more rewarding than most of us expected. I work closely with the youth and young adults and I haven’t seen a greater service response from them. Geena Pinacate, one of the young adults leader said, she enjoyed her Easter Sunday because she was able to serve and have fun. She is extremely excited that she will be joining us on the Molokai Pilgrimage next weekend.
She also said that she is eager to visit Blessed Fr. Damien’s tombstone. At that same time, I thought about Fr. Damien and his extrodinary dedication of caring for the lepers. Fr. Damien ministered to lepers and cared for all of them. I envisioned myself as Father Damien, helping those outcasted similarly to the lepers. His message is the reason why I was feeding the homeless on Easter Sunday and should be an example for our all people whether we be Christians, Jews, Muslim or any other religion.
