Sr Cabrini - Martha and Mary Since starting at the Soup Kitchen last year, I have been asking myself, “how can I help, what can I do?” I have tried to identify the real need and have prayed for light to see, and the courage to put into action what God asks of me. We have a great team at the Soup Kitchen, staff and volunteers, who share their talents and skills. The team work allows us to share our particular gifts. And so I find myself often drawn to the carpark and the waiting area or taking time to sit with guests at the table, providing a listening ear. Because it seems to me that what many of our guests seek, is a chance to be heard, to share their stories. We can give our guests clothes and provide the food, but many of them have a deeper, inner hunger. The stories can be sad and troubling and sometimes full of anger. Being present for our guests, is a really important part of our mission and I thank God that we have this opportunity. And the guests honour us with their trust. Sr Cabrini Tu’ipulotu |
