last nights drop-in was a busy one. They've been realy busy lately, and not only is it the end ofthe month but it was also raining last night - tensions were running high. There werent too many scuffles but one guy after dinner started yelling and pounding his chest and looking for a fight - then proceeded to push over tables couches etc. He got taken out and just continued to cause a ruckus in the parking lot.Anwyays, woudlnt you know asIdragmyself onto the subway around midnight, who is getting on the same car - and alot more drunk. oh dear.
The situation with S. cleared up entirely last night. I though he was avoiding me so i followed suit and didnt tryto make eye contact or anything. At a certain point he came over adn was like oh drop it! yeah you pushed buttons but i dont want to lose our friendship over this. I appologised for crossing boundaries and we hugged. hoorah! And myself and his girlfriend are on good terms as well. I dont want to speculate about how the two of them are doing (i know theyre broken up but that is always changing).
Today during arts drop-in G. smashed a brick through the front windshiled of a van of one of the staff members here. That was a great time.
“Listen, my dear brothers: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him?”
Prayer of Saint Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
Amen.
