The ability to bring some peanut butter, a can of soup, or beans for
the Giving Bank is not life threatening. Would all who read this re-
flection, and in honor of St. Lawrence, be willing to help the poor by
bringing an item or two for the Giving Bank? While shopping will you
remember those who are less fortunate, hearing the Lord calling out
gently to follow Jesus˅s example and follow the Father, placing one
extra item in the basket and bringing it to the giving bank or dropping
it into the Giving Bank collection drawers at the church on your way
into Mass.

Creator God, as we remember St. Lawrence on this day, we ask that
all will be inspired by his life and the call of your Son to be servants.
Help us to always be reminded of those in our community who are in
need.
As we go through this week, help us to be closer to you as your ser-
vants. Help us to be your hands and to reach out to others.
May we be reminded, as we visit the market this week, which we are
not only shopping for our families, but for those who hunger as well.
That we may pick up an additional item and remember to bring it with
us on Sunday and to honor you as we do thy will as true servants.
We ask this and all things in the name of Your Son, Jesus. Amen
