Many people conclude (and I have been guilty of this) that people are poor through some fault of their own. This faulty reasoning makes it easy to shut our hearts and hands against them. Even in the best of times under the most enlightened laws, the uncertainties of life and the variations among people can result in poverty. This Advent season I'm asking myself: Who are the poor in my community? How can they be helped? How can they experience our community's compassionate love, gain hope for their future, and receive God's grace?
