"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. " --Leo Buscaglia
Four Stories of Mercy
Enjoy this tender and moving video as Sister Marilyn Lacey shares four tiny moments of mercy - four tiny yet life-changing moments about ordinary people, some of them children, who saw an opportunity to help, and reached out: a woman who was in recovery from cancer wanted to help people in poverty recover; a nurse who simply provided open arms in which a little girl could cry in mourning of her mother; young school children who walked miles to support the grieving mother of a classmate; and a group who invited a woman with leprosy for tea for the first time ever in her life. “This is how the goodness and compassion gets shared by people when you just open a door or give an opportunity.”
BE THE CHANGE
Choose one action inspired by Sister Marilyn's stories: help someone out of poverty; provide a safe space to express feelings; show support for someone who may feel alone; invite a person into your circle who is normally excluded. Open your heart and reach out your hand.
