Jesus’ footsteps

 Don't look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. (Philippians 2:4-5)

 Living our faith and following in Jesus’ footsteps means putting faith into action and caring for others in every possible way, and doing so as unto the Lord.
 We reach out to those who may be impoverished, afflicted, and in need of God’s healing balm and hope for the future. We search out those who may be healthy, wealthy, and wise, but who are weary, troubled, and lost.
 We are moved by the plights of those who are persecuted, ostracized from society, or forced into inhumane situations against their will.
 No matter what the circumstances, we try to discern how to best be an example of God’s love. It is part of being the light of the world and the salt of the earth as we shine God’s light of love and truth upon those in need and demonstrate God’s love in action.
 When living our Christianity, putting faith into action, pursuing God’s Spirit, we attempt to become like Jesus, to take on His attributes, which gives birth to mercy and compassion, having a heart for people and understanding their physical and spiritual needs. We walk as Jesus walked. —P. Amsterdam [1]

 What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like. —Saint Augustine
