Christian?

During this pre-Christmas time of year, when love and compassion should abound, I’m struck by common things we do to each other: anger at other drivers, illegally and inconsiderately using a handicap parking spot, pushing fellow shoppers out of our way, avoiding eye-contact and a humanizing greeting for people we pass, especially the homeless, tossing our trash on the yard we walk by, not calling or visiting someone we know is lonely or ill….  For those of us who call ourselves “Christians,” this season and this Thursday Thought quote should be a reminder.

“We are not going to win the masses to Christianity until we live it.” – Dorothy Day
