‘We have been called to heal wounds, to unite what has fallen apart, and to bring home those who have lost their way’. (St. Francis of Assisi)
We visited the Charles bridge. Many homeless brothers and sisters. Kneeling, they hold their paper cups in humble stance, heads bent. This dear lady too old to kneel so she does the next best thing. I sit beside her on the cobblestones for a while sharing blue rosary beads and my widows’s mite. Just smiling, no need for words. Happy place for me to be.☀️
Wonderful guy drew my portrait on the freezing Charles bridge. Amazing!! Sitting still as countless folk passed by, stopping to gaze on his workmanship and then glancing back to me. Many nodding their heads in approval of the likeness. Kinda like a ‘makeover’. I being the last to see the outcome. He even got my Cross and Holy medals round my neck, that really made my day!!
‘Realise it, my brethren: everyone who breaths, high and low, educated and ignorant, young and old, man and woman, has a mission, has a work. We are not sent into this world for nothing; we are not born at random. God sees every one of us’. (St. John Henry Newman)
