Beatitudes of Caring
(From Fr. Ray’s homily)
Blessed are those who care:
They will let people know they are loved.
Blessed are those who are gentle:
They will help people to grow.
Blessed are those who listen:
They will lighten many a burden
Blessed are those who let go:
They will have the joy of seeing people find themselves.
Blessed are those who, when nothing can be done or said, do not walk away, but remain to provide a comforing and supportive presence:
They will help those who suffer to bear the unbearable.
Blessed are those who give without hope of return:
They will receive God’s reward.
