Emphasis Preaching Journal

A few years ago I attended lectures at the Chautauqua Institute in western New York. Among the speakers was a Catholic priest named Raymond Carey. He taught psychology at a Portland, Oregon college. I remember one story he told about a fellow missionary priest who had recently returned from serving in Peru. Not content to simply "retire," he followed Jesus' example in serving among the "least of these my brethren" in spending his time in making sandwiches for the poor in Portland.
