You
have probably enjoyed, as I have, the documentary “Won’t you be my Neighbor”
about everyone’s favorite Pittsburgh Presbyterian Pastor, Fred Rogers. I had a chance to see it again, recently. Each time I see it, I
cherish certain moments, and I discover new ones.
One
discover, this most recent time, was Fred saying this:
I think that those who would try to make you feel less than you are, that’s the
greatest evil.
We understand. And
we know that turning his words to the positive side – is in keeping with what
Jesus says to us this day:
I think that those who would try to make you feel greater than you
are, that is the greatest good.
I know that you are going out into a big and sometimes cold
world, today. And this week. And parts of the world are not very welcoming
or safe. I
also know that you are making that world less
grim. More caring. More loving. I
know that your goal is to love those who at first seem unlovable. And
I know that you will reach that goal.
