The
Maronite Servants of Christ the Light have been facilitating and conducting
weekly Bible sharing for the people that visit the Food Pantry at St. Anthony
of Padua Roman Catholic Church in New Bedford, MA. We were invited by the pastor, Fr. Edward
Murphy to facilitate the sharing every Thursday. The participants are not only
fed physically, but spiritually as well.
The sharing is focused on the
daily Gospel readings, which have been from the Gospel of St. John during the
Easter season.
The scripture
is proclaimed and the participants are given time to think about how it applies
to their lives through a guided meditation led by Sr. Therese Maria and then
opened for sharing. Our opportunity to serve
in this spiritual work of mercy has been a blessing. Their sharing has been a
source of hope and encouragement to all those present. Please keep this work of mercy and those who
attend in your prayers.
