“…through Baptism each child is inserted into a gathering of friends who never abandon him in life or in death...This group of friends, this family of God...will always accompany him, even on days of suffering and in life's dark nights….And these totally trustworthy companions will never disappear.”
Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI

SERVICE: Taking Care of His Suffering Body

Once we recognize the presence of Christ in our midst, we cannot help but respond in love to those who make up his suffering Body here within the St. Ambrose community and beyond. This includes those who are poor, sick, marginalized, frail, broken, persecuted and in special need. Working together, we can offer them our friendship, care, solidarity and attention to justice and peace.

Prayer for those who suffer

Dearest Lord, may I see you today and every day in the person of your sick, and, while nursing them, minister to you. Though you hide yourself behind the unattractive disguise of the irritable, the exacting, the unreasonable, may I still recognize you and say: 'Jesus, my patient, how sweet it is to serve you'. Amen.

-Blessed Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
