Reach and CRS
Joe Hastings, Education Organizer for Catholic Relief Services - West spent the day with Reach Youth Ministry recently.
His message - Catholic Social Teaching - and it was both eye opening and compelling to hear the vision we as Catholics seek to live out. Holy Scripture and Tradition guiding us to love and serve all is a message that, on the surface, seems common-sensical. Considering the complexities inherent in serving those who are less fortunate, in crisis or are not able to change their own circumstances is staggering and Joe was only giving us the basics of the basics.
Personally I feel that CRS is an overly ambitious and insanely optimistic organization - oh and inspirational. The more intense the endeavor we are called to, the more intensely we must cling to Christ in order to persevere.
Thanks Joe, for a great day and look in to CRS everyone, we can all do more!
Peace,
Dan
