Assist Pastor Abraham Analysis

Decent Essays
I think we can all agree on helping someone in need is all of our responsibility. You have to be pretty twisted to turn your back on someone that in a dire need of assistance and not provide them aid. I would be the first to jump at the opportunity to help where I could. Anything that I could do to Assist Pastor Abraham, I would do with an open heart. I have a soft spot for people in need. I have shopped in my own pantry for families in need. I would certainly do it for the stricken people of Katrina and certainly for the people who have been turned upside down by the recent events. It’s hard to discuss what would you do. You really don’t know the need until are in the middle of the after math of these

    The book Simply Christian by N.T. Wright there are three main parts, “Echoes of a Voice”, “Staring at the Sun”, and “Reflecting the Image”. In part 1, “Echoes of a Voice”, he isolates four voices: the longing for justice, the thirst for spirituality, the craving for relationships, and the attraction of beauty each of which point the human soul toward God. He focuses on our longing for justice first.

    Our Lady of the Lake College is a Catholic institution that was created in honor of St. Francis of Assisi, who firmly believed that all of creation spoke volumes of God’s love for us. St. Francis was raised in a fairly wealthy family, and it was not until he was captured at battle for two years, that he decided to embark on the glorious journey of knowing Jesus Christ. He began preaching to word of God, and embraced others that were not of his kind. Students who attend Our Lady of the Lake College should be of the same example to others throughout their academic careers. As Franciscans, We live by five core values that are service, reverence and love for all of life, joyfulness of spirit, humility, and justice.…

    On a blazing hot afternoon, I was with my Peer Ministry. It seemed like our whole group, interacting with the sizable population of homeless on the streets of Riverside, CA, was working like a fast food crew; we were distributing food from our cars at a superhuman pace. This activity seemed like any ordinary job our group did together — until I handed a brown paper bag to a homeless African American man. His expression registered shock. He put his hand on my shoulder and said, “Son, how did you know I needed help?”…

    Only certain people would try to help them out. We are responsible for the safety and the well being of others because we know that we could offer help. Treat others how you want to be treated--it's better to give than receive. People should feel compelled to help others if they can afford it. Some people want to be selfless and help, “ Out of that incredible heartbreak, we wanted to do everything we could to prevent this tragedy from happening to other families”…

The bags were able to provide the children with goods that we often take for granted.…
