Every Wednesday, my parish serves lunch for anyone who comes, young, old, rich, poor, anybody. The other churches in town do the same, on other days of the week.
It’s a hot meal with salad and bread, and really tasty. We have some cooks who used to own restaurants. I peel potatoes, chop salad, wash tables, serve dessert, clean the kitchen and wash the pots. I also clean vegetables for take home.
The poor in my town eat as well as they wish to, one meal per day, as much as they want, whole families come. We also hand out food from the pantry as well, to all comers. One retired guy makes the rounds for economy’s sake. No one goes home empty.
You mentioned that I printed your screen name. Do you want to ping the mod, or tell your friends to? There are only three people I am unwilling to work with. Are all your questions answered now, or do you want to make some more demands.
See, this is where you seem to go off the tracks, Judith Anne. I never demanded anything of you. Yet your last post asks me if I want to make some MORE demands. As if I had already demanded anything from. I pleaded and begged you. But I didn’t demand. Now, you sound like a perfectly helpful person in your community. But say, some people want two meals per day. Is that a rule that can be broken? And are you the one who tells them they are breaking the rules by asking for more than is allowed. Do you have any idea what I’m trying to get at here? Because we are definitely on different planes. I admire your hard work, dedication, and tenacity. But others have the same qualities. And they may not be Catholic. To dismiss them on a regular basis as haters of Catholics or too mean to care about is about as wrong as a person can get. And with that comes the back and forth insults. Have a nice day. smvoice
