“You have a greater need to serve [the poor] than they have of your service.”
Angela Merici (1474-1540) was an Italian religious leader and saint who founded the Order of Ursulines in 1535 in Brescia. This citation came to me in a paper written by Chelsea Hurlburt, one of my TEDS seminary students.
Chelsea has dedicated her life to “spending herself on behalf of the hungry” (cf. Isaiah 58:10). She believes such humble service has been the best training ground for learning about the love and grace God extended to her through Jesus.
How are you spending your life and what are your actions teaching you?
