This Christmas, Johnny, whose real name is John Carbonell, will emerge from his cave and walk to Ogden Avenue. There, he will meet Sister Lauria Fitzgerald, who has looked after the homeless in the Bronx for nearly two decades. Johnny will not receive help that day. He will give it. He and Sister Lauria will hop into a van and deliver food to the homeless. .. They have come to rely on each other and to trust each other, the man in the cave and the Catholic nun in the Bronx.Happy Christmas Eve to my bloggy friends!
Occasional musings of a Generation X Sister of St. Joseph of Peace. Read along as I live into a life of love and service as a modern day Catholic Sister (aka "nun") and continue to discern my call to "act justly, love tenderly and walk humbly with God."
