The Bridge

 If your life is full of emotional pain, adrift with a lack of purpose, try being of service.  Be useful and do something for another person or community.  It helps me to be of service in doing things around the rectory that makes life a bit better for all of us.  I have a six month commitment to a meeting one morning a week for guys that are trying to deepen their spiritual life.  I make the coffee and run the meeting.  I find that service is a bridge between pain and purpose.  I try to cross that bridge every day.  I hope this blog is bridge-crossing.
