PRODUCE
ON WHEELS
Joseph Bonkowski
The Borderland Food Bank “Produce on
Wheels” (which is sponsored by St. Joseph Parish
St. Vincent de Paul Conference) has recently
changed their policy on how to distribute the
produce. The new policy: In order for everyone to
have the same amount of vegetables there will be
limits on all produce that must be followed. The
limits will be posted on the white board in front as
you get in line. The amount you receive will be, up
to or be 60 lbs. You do not need to accept all
varieties but cannot substitute one variety for
another.
These limits are set by Borderlands and NOT by St.
Joseph SVdP. St. Vincent de Paul only receives
10% of sales. That money is used to purchase food
for the needy and other supplies needed. Any
questions or comments contact Ester Havey at 2562792 or email her at
[email protected].

NO COMPARISONS
How many times have we read or heard about
someone who’s gotten into trouble—maybe even fired
from a job—because of a brush with the law? While
our “Christian” minds tell us to be sorry and even pray
for the person, a little voice inside our heads may also
be saying, “I’m glad I would never do anything like
that.”
And perhaps we wouldn’t. But are there some
things we do that are still not pleasing in God’s eyes?
Today’s readings caution us not to look so intently at
someone else’s wrongdoing that we overlook our own
weaknesses and shortcomings. When we measure
ourselves against the worst people we can think of, we
come out looking pretty good. There is a danger, however, in using someone else’s behavior as a way of
reflecting our own goodness.

NO HACER COMPARACIONES
¿Cuántas veces hemos leído o escuchado
acerca de alguien que se metió en problemas, incluso
despedido de su empleo, por un roce con la ley? Mientras nuestras mentes “cristianas” nos dicen que nos
apiademos de esa persona y que roguemos por ella,
puede que una vocecita interior también esté diciendo:
“Me alegro de que yo nunca haría algo así”.
Y tal vez no lo haríamos. Pero, ¿hay algunas
cosas que hacemos que no agradan a Dios? Las lecturas de hoy nos advierten no mirar tan atentamente a
las maldades de otros que pasamos por alto nuestras
propias debilidades y defectos. Cuando nos comparamos con las peores personas a nuestro alrededor, salimos bastante bien. Sin embargo, hay un peligro en
usar la conducta ajena como medida para reflejar
nuestras propias virtudes.
