Loving Our Neighbors

Dear Friend in Christ,

The Miles Jesu Women’s Community in Rome continues their apostolate for the poor in and around St. Peter’s Square. “When we walk through Rome distributing food to the homeless, we observe how the city transforms from morning to night,” Geraldine, MJ, writes. “In the morning, it’s filled with cardboard boxes stacked against the walls. At night, it’s filled with men and women who, for the most part, wander the city all day, collecting those cardboard boxes stored in the sun and cold, to turn them into beds. Faced with this reality, we always try to greet them with a smile and a word of encouragement, and we sit with them, listening to them and looking them in the eye, because sometimes they just need someone to listen to them and pay attention. THANK YOU to everyone who makes this apostolate of love for one’s neighbor possible.”

Please continue to help our Miles Jesu Missions today, such as our outreach for the poor in Rome! Your sacrifice of a onetime gift or monthly pledge truly makes all the difference. Just send your tax-deductible donation in the enclosed envelope. We take our benefactors seriously in Miles Jesu, so don’t forget to include your prayer petitions as well. We pray with gratitude for you and your loved ones during our daily Masses, our holy hours, and rosaries because the Miles Jesu Missions depend upon the Providence of God through people like you.
