Coastside Catholic Worker
The reflection that was read to CROP Walkers prior to
setting out on their adventure:
Food For Thought
I planned an ultra-modern home
when my income increased,
but an Afghani woman whispered,
“I have no home at all.”
I dreamed of a country home,
a place of luxurious weekends,
but a refugee child kept saying,
“I have no country.”
I decided on new cupboards
right now…
but a child in Africa cried out,
“I have no cup.”
I started to purchase a new
washing machine
but an Indian woman said softly,
“I have nothing to wash.”
I wanted a freezer for storing
quantities of food,
but across the ocean came the cry,
“We have no food.”
I ordered a new car for the
pleasure of my loved ones,
but a war orphan murmured,
"I have no loved ones."
