Hannah Megan today shared a glimpse into her life as a Jesuit Volunteer, and how the Scripture readings for February 27 have deepened her reflections about the “interruption” in the regular course of her life that she has chosen by living in community, embracing service and simplicity.
When we are inconvenienced or find that giving doesn’t come instinctively, as it too often can seem it happens these days, Hannah says, how can we bear God’s light?
She quotes C.S. Lewis: “Do not waste time bothering whether you ‘love’ your neighbor; act as if you did. As soon as we do this, we find one of the great secrets. When you are behaving as if you loved someone, you will presently come to love [them].”
Listen to Hannah’s wandering through her thoughts and experiences as she surfaces as one ready to bear God’s light and love to others. As the righteous followers in Matthew’s gospel say, “Lord, when did we see you?”
