“Loving in the Immensity of the Human Being”

My moment of light at PAM was when night fell during the Saturday Eucharist. I sat alone with some strangers. On the floor. And that detail of celebrating on the floor touched me deeply. Because we are unprotected, away from comforts. And what do you have left when you are a person on the street, homeless, without luxuries..?

You have love, the affection of a group of anonymous people who are with you for the simple reason of love. And when you think you will be alone your whole life, you look at the stars and see that there are many, and they shine: they have light. Then you lower your gaze, you see your companions, they are scattered, they are stars in front of you. And suddenly comes a strong and selfless hug from a person next to you and you don’t know who they are. But that doesn’t matter, and then, you feel all the love that someone has to give you selflessly: that is the love of God in all of us. That is the spirit.
