National Volunteer Month - One Minute with Bishop Burbidge

Walk Humbly

April is National Volunteer Month, a time each spring dedicated to honoring all those who volunteer in our nation and our neighborhoods. When we volunteer to serve a noble cause, we contribute positively to our communities, improve the places we live, and inspire others to volunteer alongside us. It is fitting that we honor those who sacrificially give of themselves for the common good of others, and especially those in greatest need. One spiritual writer says: "Go to the poor and you will find God." Today, may we each resolve to find ways to volunteer our time and share our resources for the good of others—and especially to alleviate the sufferings of the poor and needy. In doing so, you show your brothers and sisters the face of God and they reveal his presence to you!
