It would still be warm, she said, and we would make a full course meal from it. Faces of hunger like Jim who lives alone in his one room apartment. Seventy eight years old, in poor health, living on Social Security. His medical bills and prescription drug bills, along with rent, eat up most all of his income each month. His diet most often is bread with mayo, sometimes beans that he heats on an old hot plate.
Life is grim.
Faces of hunger like Don and Brian, Sue and Tami who came to St. John s for help, one of their last places to turn, when there was no more food to be had and hunger and sadness were reflected in their eyes and etched in their faces. In those days when there was again a great crowd without anything to eat, Jesus called his disciples and said to them, I have compassion for the crowd, because they .have nothing to eat. The Christian community is called to see with the eyes of Jesus and act with the heart of Jesus. Jesus felt the distress of the people deeply, it pained him to see their suffering. With God, of course, it is possible.
