P. Ciullo, K. Pape,
G. Laigaie, G. Piatek, D. Fish, and B. Capacasa are just a few of the
students that can now relate just a little better to what it means to be
homeless. Sleeping in a makeshift shelter for one night on the Quad is a far
cry from living homeless day to day, but it was an awakening for some of the
students. When questioned about the experience, Briana responded, "It was
alright, but then towards morning it got really cold, and we even had
sleeping bags. I can't imagine having to do this every day."
The students will be pan handling around campus to raise awareness and money
to aid Mercy Hospice, a shelter for homeless women. If you are looking for a
chance to change the world, why not start with some of the
change in your pocket.
Saint Matthew 25:41
41"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart
from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil
and his angels.
42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you
gave me nothing to drink,
43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you
did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'
44"They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a
stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'
45"He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of
the least of these, you did not do for me.'
46"Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to
eternal life."
