"By drawing closer to the poor, little by little we become their confidants and counselors in the worst moments of this earthly pilgrimage. We can give them the comforting words of faith and often we succeed, not by our own merit, in putting on the right road people who have strayed without meaning to."
-Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati
Today’s Reflection:
Blessed Pier Giorgio (who will be canonized tomorrow!) reminds us that when we draw near to the poor, we reflect Christ’s own compassion. It isn’t our merit but God’s grace that allows us to comfort, guide, and bring hope to those who are struggling. Who in your life needs the comfort of your presence and words of faith today?
