A central question each of us must ask ourselves is “what do we do when we see someone in need?”
My answers trouble me and need to change. That “someone” has been me and can be again.
I have been doing some reading about other religions trying to better understand my brothers and sisters.
I ran across this Baha’i prayer and it provides a starting place to my developing a better answer to the question of “what do we do when we see someone in need?”
Be generous in prosperity
and thankful in adversity.
Be fair in thy judgment
and guarded in thy speech.
Be a lamp unto those who walk in the darkness
and a home to a stranger.
Be eyes to the blind
and a guiding light unto the feet of the erring.
Be a breath of life to the body of human
kind, a dew to the soil of the human heart,
and a fruit upon the tree of humility.
