Wednesday of the Fourth Week of Lent

Today's Lectionary Readings
[link removed]

For the past 5+ years, I have served in the Office of Living Justice
with Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Green Bay.  During this
time, I have often marveled at the people I have encountered who are
living the mission of peace and justice in their own lives and
challenging me to do the same in mine.  Whether through direct
service, advocacy, works of mercy, or promoting justice, you bring the
words of the Gospel to life for the people you serve.

I see this reflected in the words of today's first reading:
"For he who pities them leads them and guides them beside
springs of water."  While the author is talking about the
work of the Lord, this is what I have seen from countless people who
are dedicated to the social ministry of the church.  People who
recognize the suffering that exists in the world and, moved with pity,
take steps to alleviate that suffering.  People who lay down
their lives to walk alongside the poor and the vulnerable so they can
come to know that "the Lord is gracious and merciful."

I have decided to step away from church ministry, but I wanted to
thank all of you for the ways that you have inspired me.  I feel
honored to have worked alongside people who take seriously the Gospel
message to love God and love our neighbor.  I look forward to the
day in heaven when we will get to see the full impact of the little
kindnesses we have offered to people in need and hear the words we all
long to hear, "Well done, my good and faithful servant! 
Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give you great
responsibilities.  Come, share your master's joy."

God bless all of you and your work to build the kingdom!

Peter Weiss has been the Director of Living Justice with Catholic
Charities of the Diocese of Green Bay since 2017. Through this role,
he has shared the good news of Catholic Social Teaching and raised
awareness about issues of injustice in the world.  While Peter
will no longer be working in this role as of March 24, he remains
committed to living the Gospel and helping people know and experience
the love God has for them.
