I have told you what I have seen with my own eyes and have heard with my own ears.* I myself have experienced this love. Feeling this love, I have also felt joy.
I invite you to welcome Jesus in the poor person in front of you. I invite you to listen to the homeless person before you.
Welcome into your heart the impoverished people next to you. As you become acquainted with the destitute person near you, and as you come to realize that this person is not as unlike you as you had thought, feel the joy that comes from loving your neighbor as yourself.** Amen.
* 1 John 1:1
** Matthew 22:39; Mark 12:31; Luke 10:27; Leviticus 19:18; Romans 13:9; Galatians 5:14
