Early morning, getting ready for our work, our event, our life, a year of kicking off the next 25 years…life events come..

A life comes and moves closer to heaven…from the second we are born, we are put on earth to help one another.   St Augustine wrote about the City of God, dream with us on developing cities of God, no more ugly…NMU, about no more shootings,about every child a home…

We see some of the best and some of the worst in this county..no question.   We see people in need and we see people with greed. We see people who care and those who don’t…or as the song goes, “that’s life”..but there is another life..that is within us..as mentioned so many times..the Hebrew word, the Ruah..the breathe of God.  From the second we live, the Ruah is giving us life..to do good, to smile, to help to love and live….that Ruah is within us, and calls us to Tikkum Elum. To heal the world, to help us to make the world better…

Like building the city of God….like St Augustine wrote, a Saint, who changed from sinner to saint…and his mother St Monica prayed for him, like so many mothers of all backgrounds, jewish, irish, African American, Latinas, all praying for the Ruah to be within each son and daughter, for a great life…and the great life, is to help heal the world….building with Habitat across the world, like I have done, in El Salvador after earthquakes, in S. Central los Angeles and the Lower East Side, in central ward Newark, in Belfast in Glencairn and iris Close, in so many parts of the world…we look to heal the world, with Walls of Love and sweat equity…wont you join us? This Lent and Passover season..dont let the season pass us over as one that is not spiritual….on the contrary may it be one of the most spiritual season..followed by Faith in Action….you have ever had…let the Ruah give you breathe…God bless you
