"Fifteen years ago, one wintry weekend in Michigan, my dad asked me for help with a house project. It wasn't just shoveling snow or painting though. 'Buddy, I need your help today,' he said as I ate my peanut butter toast for breakfast. 'You've got good taste and a sharp eye. I want you to help me with the fireplace.' It needed some revamping. . . .
"I felt both loved and trusted that day. He could have done things on his own, yet he wanted my help. . . ."
In a recent commentary base on the writing of St. John Henry Newman, Father Ceslaus Kowalkowski, O.P., reflected on how God calls each of us to help with with some definite work/service.
