Scripture Reading: The Scripture portion is taken from the book of Mathew, Chapter 25, Verse 40. The king will answer them, ‘I can guarantee this truth: Whatever you did for one of my brothers or sisters, no matter how unimportant they seemed, you did it for me.’ This is the Word of the Lord.
Being Selfless
Once upon a time, there was a man who was very helpful, kind-hearted, and generous. One day while walking, this man saw a purse, so he picked it up and noticed that the purse was empty. Suddenly, a woman with a policeman shows up and gets him arrested. The woman accused him of robbing her money, but the man replied, “It was empty when I found it, Ma’am.” The woman yelled at him, “Please give it back, It’s for my son’s school fees.” The man noticed that the woman really felt sad, so he handed all his money.. The man said, “Take this money, sorry for the inconvenience.” The woman left and a policeman held the man for further questioning. The woman was very happy but when she counted her money, later on, it was almost double the amount and she was shocked. While the woman was going to pay her son’s school fees towards the school, she noticed that some skinny man was walking behind her. She thought that he may rob her, so she approached a policeman standing nearby. He was the same policeman, who she took along to inquire about her purse. The woman told him about the man following her, but suddenly they saw that man collapsing. They ran towards him and saw that he was the same man whom they arrested a while back for stealing a purse. He looked very weak and the woman was confused. The policeman said to the woman, “He didn’t steal your money, he gave you his money earlier.” Later, they helped the man stand up, and the man told the woman, “Please go ahead and pay your son’s school fees, I saw you and followed you to be sure that no one steals your son’s school fees.” The woman was speechless.
Thought for the Day: Give to the world the best you have and the best will come back to you.
Let us pray
Heavenly Father, Thank You, Lord, for the many graces and blessings you have placed in my life. In turn, dear Lord, help me to be aware of the needs of my sisters and brothers, and to respond to those who are poor and less fortunate with generous expressions of charity, kindness, and caring. Help me to be selfless and help the people around me. This I ask in Jesus’ name, Amen.
Let us continue with The Lord’s Prayer.
