Yesterday evening I had a huge shock. It was around nine in the evening and my brother and I were walking towards his office. I saw so many homeless people sleeping in the underpass, in the parks and everywhere else. I was really shocked. I never expected to see such a sight here in the Philippines.
I hope I don-t get over the shock. I hope sights such as this continue to question me. I hope I don't become dumb and indifferent as sights like this become commonplace.
Jesus said that we will always have the poor with us. May their presence be a call to conversion, to a gradual and radical conversion. God can build His Kingdom by Himself, but God engages us in this wonderful adventure.
May I take heed.
