Authentic Christian Service

Homily by Fr. Behm

Father Behm, as always, speaks truth with love helping us to Draw Near to God and grow in Christian charity. We are meant to be "with Jesus" through others NOT just to those outside our community on the occasionaly mission trip, but every day with our community. Mother Teresa once said when asked how to serve the poor, "Go home and love your family."

3 characteristics of Authentic Christian service:

  1. Personal: encounter with another human being

  2. Christocentric: See the face of Jesus Christ in every person we encounter

  3. Begin with those closest to us
