Just finished hearing the celebration of the Holy Eucharist this morning and as I listened to the homily of our parish priest, Fr. Vincent, I was struck by what he mentioned about the feast that we have in the Church today. We remember celebrate this day the feast of the Holy Family and he shared that for a community to progress, certain guidelines need to be practiced and be observed diligently. Moreover, it takes each member to participate actively and positively so that the community will encounter progress and growth.
Indeed it becomes a constant challenge for each of us as you and me go back to our respective communities. We are called to share without any condition our talents, resources, lending ears and hearts to our fellow brothers and sisters. On the other hand, there are elected leaders in our communities and they ought to be supported and positively journeyed with. Each one is an essential part of the whole community and without the effort of each member, it would never attain its ideals and goals.
Therefore, may we always be aware of the respective role that we own in our community. And no single role is less important nor be neglected since each one plays a specific part for the benefit of everyone.
