I need Africa more than Africa needs me

So who is our neighbor? Who are we called to love like ourselves? Isn't it everyone? We are called to love like ourselves..that is a lot of love, a lot of things I do for myself. Do I treat others the same? Or do I choose to ignore the struggles? Many times, it seems as though it is easy to just ignore them. We have been taught, they are homeless by choice, they are homeless because they don't fit in our society...but then that small still voice says...did Jesus fit in our society? Would he be found in an office going to lunch, and walking by the hungry? Would he drive his Tahoe by the guy on the corner? Would he engage the lowest of the low? I think we know the answer.
