Acts

I gave to the poor in front of me
And received more than can be counted.
 
I clothed the naked against the cold
And was myself warmed in spirit.
 
I consoled the sorrowful of heart
And found an unknown inner comfort.
 
I visited the prison in fear of captivity
And felt a freedom I have not known.
 
I brought peace to the angry
And found the path of comfort and joy.
 
I gave up myself to prayer for another
And was myself lifted up.
 
I saw injustice and was not silent
And found that change of heart can come.
 
I listened with an open heart
And heard that truth is love
 
I looked with eyes of love
And truly saw the face of Jesus
 
I approached a life decision with humility
And found the true joy of diaconia
