“You Didn’t Even Look At Me!”

Our parish priest was hurrying to a dinner appointment on a sidewalk in NYC.

He past a man begging for money.

He didn’t give him money.

The man doing the begging said, “You didn’t even look at me.”

In another incident, one of my daughters gave a homeless man a $20 dollar bill.

The homeless man told her, ” Something you did was worth more than the $20.

You looked at me!”

Everyone wants to be acknowledged.

Regardless of status, each of us is a member of the human family.

“You Didn’t Even Look At Me!”
