2 Grateful for Anything Except Dirty Looks Driving home from work, I regularly see panhandlers standing at the freeway offramp. I hesitate to find Christ in them or give them money. For one thing, it s a dangerous place to stand. I m suspicious about how my money will be spent. It could be a scam. Plus I do plenty of other charitable works. Most days it s someone different. But there s one regular, a young man with varying cardboard signs. Guilt used to fill me as I tried not to make eye contact and drove past. I can t help every homeless person in my path, a voice in my head said. But you have so much, another inner voice countered. At home I stocked my glove box with a granola bar and a bottled water. That would be better than money, right? When I offered the water, he chugged it immediately. Gratitude was obvious. But how could I remember to restock my glove box every day? The next time I saw him, I had nothing to give. His sign said, Grateful for anything except dirty looks. I smiled; he smiled back. I rolled down the window. Great sign, I said. I can t remember our brief conversation, but I looked to the passenger seat to see if I had anything to give. I saw an old umbrella, and rain was predicted. I have others, but this one was a gift from a previous employer. I hesitated only a moment and asked if he could use it. He nodded. Soon I saw my umbrella above his smiling face. That night it poured in Sacramento. I thought of my beloved umbrella, but more, I prayed for homeless people sleeping out that night. Someone told me that Pope Francis encouraged us to give money to homeless people, without worrying about how they spend it. I decided for one month to give a dollar to every homeless person I met. I never expected a transformation to take place inside me. I began to see people as deep joy took root in me with each dollar given. My fear of being overwhelmed by hand outs was unfounded. In fact, I had to look for cups in front of downcast eyes that turned up with surprise when I gave my pittance. It felt good. But more than that, I was no longer judgmental or afraid. I was reminded of a quote associated with St. Vincent de Paul: It is only for your love alone that the poor will forgive you the bread you give to them. I continued to watch for Christ in the disguise of the homeless poor. A few days later, I saw him. The young man at the freeway off-ramp had a new sign: Hit me with a quarter, and I ll be glad. He was looking at his phone. I reached out with a dollar. I asked his name and gave mine. Who are you talking to? I asked. My mom in Reno. The light changed, and I drove off. For days, no one was at the off-ramp. Another homeless fellow said days later that the police were passing out fines. My thoughts surprised me: Where is my friend? I don t know what s going to happen next in this one-minute-at-a-stoplight relationship. Giving something to someone in need is always right, the Pope said. It should be done with respect and compassion while looking into the person s eyes. A unique human being. A potential friend. An instrument of my salvation.

Dynamic Catholic Parish Champion Each month, Holy Family will begin receiving resources from Dynamic Catholic as part of their Parish Champion program. Dynamic Catholic is an organization whose mission is to re-energize the Catholic Church in America by developing world-class resources that inspire people to rediscover the genius of Catholicism. At Christmas, our parish gave away Resisting Happiness as a gift to inspire parishioners to re-engage with their faith. The hope for the parish champion program is to help transform our parish and inspire parishioners to love Christ. We hope that the resources we receive will help to inspire and transform your life. We will receive limited number of resources and will rotate their presence at different Masses each month. If you receive a book or CD, feel free to pass it on to someone who might benefit from reading/listening! This month, we received Becoming the Best Version of Yourself. Enjoy! Liturgy Link The Mass Our Offering Continued from last week. There are a few Eucharistic Prayers that the presider may choose from. They are numbered, so we call them Eucharistic Prayer I, Eucharistic Prayer II, etc. In most Parishes you will hear Eucharistic Prayer II most often used. Eucharistic Prayer I, III and IV are also used at times. The rest of the options are particular to needs, so they would not typically be heard on Sundays or Holy Days. In looking at the next part of the Mass, the Eucharistic Prayer, we need to consider its parts, the main elements of the Eucharistic Prayer are: a) the thanksgiving b) the acclamation c) the epiclesis d) the institution narrative and consecration e) the anamnesis f) the oblation g) the intercessions h) the concluding doxology We ll look at the first one next week!
