Maxim Monday: Unselfish Love

When you work for the neighbor do it with a very unselfish love which expects no reward for its services, and aim at nothing other than helping him or her and being at the same time pleasing to God. Maxims of the Little Institute, 55

There were two events this past weekend that capture the
essence of Maxim 55. On Saturday there was a Allston-Brighton Family Fair at Herter Park/Artesani Playground in Brighton. Mary Rita, Director of The Women's Table, one of our CSJ ministries, was part of the planning committee.  The goal of the fair is to bring many resources together in one location so that families of
young children can easily and conveniently obtain many different kinds of needed information. The drizzly weather didn't seem to dampen anyone's spirits.

While roaming around to the different displays I met a young woman who has been involved with our work on behalf of survivors of human trafficking. She was so complimentary about the importance of our work. I was glad I met her.

From there I headed to Casserly House where they were celebrating their 10th Anniversary. It was another environment with an upbeat spirit.

There will be more pictures of these events later. For now it's enough to commend those who work at Casserly House and The Women's Table for their generous hearts, and greathearted giving of oneself in service of the Dear Neighbor.
