In our world today there are a lot of people who are lonely. They do not have a sense of “belonging” to anyone or any thing. It is important to know if one really belongs. Fr. Mike looks at various areas of “belonging”. Family, friends, groups of shared interest, church….are just a few. These are places where one is accepted without question.Young people join gangs because they want to belong to something.He then moves on to belonging to the family of God. As it says in the Bible,”…we may be called children of God….” And again in John 14:15 God says to us “I will not leave you orphans.” Then Fr. Mike tells a story from the viewpoint of a young boy with Down’s Syndrome. This helps us to look at the world from a different perspective.
