“If we love one another, God remains in us
and his love is brought to perfection in us.”
(1 John 14:12)
I am surrounded by the aftermath of Hurricane Ida. Every street has homes, businesses and churches with fallen trees, holes in the roof, windows blown out, and walls missing. The power and sheer force of wind and water is evident to even the most distracted passerby. The news media was here, but they have since moved on to the next hot story. It is as though the world has forgotten that these are not mere buildings that we see destroyed; they are visible signs of rocked and shattered human lives.
I am surrounded by the aftermath of Hurricane Ida. As I coordinate relief efforts, my phone rings with news of another donation of much-needed items and help. Twenty pallets of food donated by the local electric company, six pallets of cleaning supplies from a community in Ohio, a parish with volunteers willing to help the elderly clear out the mud carried into their homes by the floodwaters. People who are displaced themselves volunteer to cook, deliver and serve hot meals to thousands of other displaced families. Here is the hot story: these are not mere meals and items. They are signs of the power and sheer force of love!
When God perfects our love, it becomes more powerful than wind and water, and even mud. It can repair roofs and comfort hungry stomachs, but also comforts and heals broken hearts and exhausted minds. It reminds others that God loves them and is with them in their joy and struggle. Each of us is called to bring God’s love to someone. Do not underestimate the power of that love.
Prayer
God of love,
It is not good for us to be alone,
so you have given us a community of faith.
May we share our gifts and talents with those in need
and may we find the humility to seek help from others in our need.
Amen.
