CHARITY

   The word reminds me of heart, feeling and compassion. Every time I hear it or read it, I think that this is an invitation; an invitation to meet with others to share what is in me, whether it be joys, ideas or resources. I also remember Francisco, Clare and Mary, who do not have but could have, as a surname, Charity. I feel a natural desire to give, to share and to connect, by the heart, with others. How would I like to have it already, besides feeling, the practice that the word suggests. Charity is love in motion by the way of the the heart.
