Mercy: To Love those who dont belong to us!!!!!!!!!!!

This is difficult to love those who dont belong to our community, caste, class and society. They are strangers and unknown to us. But the message of the Gospel by Jesus is that we need to go to these ones who have no one to care and love, accept and appreciate them. The Church has been faithful to the message of Jesus. This year the Church will reflect and ask questions whether we can continue with greater enthusiasm and love, with more committment and faith. The world and society is longing to to see the merciful face of Jesus again. The people out there are hungry for the merciful and compassion words of Jesus. We have to become Jesus for them. Make the words of Jesus heard again through our words, deeds and actions. 

How to love those who dont belong to us. Even if you decide to do so, there is oppisiton and threat. There is non-acceptance from the part of our close ones. We are not seen well and spoken well once we start doing something for those who are vulnerables. 

I know one great soul who studied with me. She did not get married because the boys refused to marry her because of the type of work she did. All the boys asked about her profession and work and the reply was negative from the boys side. She worked with prostitutes. She taught them a better way of living human life. She was instrumental in making some young girls independent and leave the horrible work that they did. Many young girls took to education and settled down. What this great soul did was to be the merciful face of Jesus to these unfortunate girls. She liberated them from slavery. She did not get married because she did not want anyone to dispise her for the work that she did. she was happy and contended. She gave Jesus through her work to the people. She spoke like Jesus by consoling and comforting them. She was the face of Mercy for those who had lost hope and faith in life. She did for those who didnt belong to her......
