St. Peter Chrysologus writes...

It is difficult to see so many people loosing their savings, homes, businesses, and dignity in these tough financial times. St. Peter Chrysologus echoes the words of the Apostle when he writes in one of his ancient sermons "present your bodies as a living sacrifice." Later in the same letter he invites us to allow our hearts to be an altar as the center of the sacrifice. For me, this is helpful in being in solidarity with our suffering folks. If my heart burns for the poor, then my attitude is directed towards Christ.
