Happy Sixth Day of Christmas!! On this day, we remember St. Egwin, the patron saint of widows and orphans. It is fitting that we look for those struggling to get by and do something to help them on this day. James addresses our need to DO SOMETHING about the pain around us when he wrote about faith and deeds in James 2:14-17. He directly questioned what good it was to wish someone well without doing something about their needs. John also writes on this theme in 1 John 3:17-18 when he questions if God's love is really in us when we see someone in need and do not have pity on them. When we can help, we should help.
What opportunities to do good to those in need are around you?
