In Mark Chapter 12, Jesus teaches us about the two great commandments. The first is to love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, soul, and mind. The second is to love your neighbor as yourself.But what does loving our neighbor look like in everyday life? Sometimes, it means helping a family keep a roof over their heads when an unexpected hardship puts their home at risk. Through St. Vincent de Paul, we put this commandment into action by serving those in our community who are most in need.Recently, a single mother with teenage children reached out to us. She had been working two jobs to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table. When severe back problems forced her to take time off from her hourly-wage jobs, she quickly fell behind on her bills. She asked for help with past-due rent, and we provided assistance to help her family through this difficult stretch until she could manage on her own. Your generous support made that assistance possible, helping prevent this family from losing their home. Thank you for helping us turn Christ’s call to love our neighbor into compassionate action.

Today’s Gospel is told as a parable: A king forgives a servant’s enormous debt, yet that servant refuses to show the same mercy to others. The message is clear: as the Lord has compassion for us, we are called to show compassion to one another.

That is the mission of the St. Vincent de Paul Society: to share God’s love with neighbors facing desperate need. A volunteer from the Church of Our Saviour’s SVdP conference shared a story that brings this mission to life. Our home visit teams sometimes deliver food pantry groceries to neighbors with limited mobility. On one delivery, volunteers found a woman with a broken leg who could not leave her small studio apartment—or even get up from the air mattress on her floor. Before her injury, she walked to work and was able to pay her rent and utilities. But unable to work, she had fallen behind on bills and needed help simply getting to her feet.

The volunteers brought groceries, helped her up, and provided temporary assistance with her bills while she healed. Within a few weeks, she was back at work and self-sufficient again. She needed only a little help—and compassion. As the volunteer said, “Our job is to try to be Christ to others, and make them feel like they matter.”

The message in last week's Gospel is one of the most often repeated catch- phrases in Christianity: "Love your neighbor as yourself." It's easy to say. Putting it into practice is much more difficult.

The Society of St Vincent de Paul at Our Saviour works every day to live the concept of "loving our neighbor" through outreach to our neighbors who are the most desperately in need. This assistance takes many forms, from a bag of groceries for a family struggling to make ends meet, to a new air conditioner for a disabled elderly neighbor who is suffering with illness. For one young man, it was a much-needed car repair that enabled him to keep his job. This man used his car to make deliveries and drive for ride-share companies to support himself. When his car broke down, he was desperately trying to find the money to get the car repaired. He reached out to SVdP, and we paid for repairs so he could continue to work. Once he was back on his feet, he was self- sufficient and has not needed any more help.

As we reflect on today’s call to "love your neighbor as yourself," we invite you to help us continue this work of mercy. Your gift of time or financial support allows the Society of St Vincent de Paul at Our Saviour to respond when our neighbors turn to us in urgent need. Please prayerfully consider making a donation or joining us as a volunteer, so together we can be the hands and heart of Christ to those who need it most.

Like the Canaanite woman in today’s Gospel, who kept crying out to Jesus until she received mercy, our parish community is called to show up for our neighbors in need. We do this with compassion, persistence, and faith. Her story reminds us that when someone is suffering, we do not turn away. Rather, we listen, we help, and we trust that even small acts of mercy can make a life-changing difference.
This spirit is reflected in our church volunteers’ concern for one of our neighbors who visits our food pantry. This neighbor has a wound that will not heal. With no health insurance, he’s tried to get treatment and was turned away with no answers. The SVdP Our Saviour Conference is taking a small new step that lets us offer limited help with serious medical needs for a few of our most vulnerable neighbors. Thanks to a grant from the Health First Foundation, volunteers are now helping him navigate community health resources including exploring access to affordable long-term prescriptions. Because our resources are modest, we cannot meet every health care need, but we are learning how to access community resources.

Today’s Gospel tells us about when Jesus walked on water, and Peter got out of the boat and began to walk to Him. When Peter became frightened and began to sink, Jesus stretched out his hand to pull him up. This passage reminds us that when fear and uncertainty begin to overwhelm us, Jesus is ready to reach out and steady us.

In the same way, the St. Vincent de Paul Society of Our Saviour’s recently helped a local family in crisis, keeping them from sinking under the weight of hardships and giving them the stability to move forward. This family of six—two parents and four young children—was doing everything they could to stay afloat, but illness caused the father to miss work and unexpected car repairs added even more financial strain. The mother sought a way to contribute while caring for their infant at home, eventually finding remote employment at $16 per hour.Even with both parents working hard, the family fell behind on rent and faced the veryreal risk of eviction and homelessness. They reached out to us for help, and we covered the critical rent shortfall, allowing the family to remain in their home and avoid the disruption of school and neighborhood connections. This brief bridge to self-sufficiency helped preserve housing stability and kept a roof over this family’s heads.

Today’s Gospel reading tells the story of Jesus multiplying five loaves and two fish into enough food to feed a crowd of thousands. In that same spirit, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul at Our Saviour’s feeds those in need right here in our community as part of our mission of outreach to the poor. In the first three months of 2026, our food pantry in Cape Canaveral fed 397 neighbors including 43 children. That’s double what we anticipated! In addition, our teams bring bags of groceries to our neighbors in need on nearly every home visit.

The need right now is very great as many families face empty shelves and rising prices, and we are able to provide aid only through the generosity of the parish. We are asking for your help to feed those experiencing food insecurity in our community. Donations of non-perishable food items may be placed in the baskets in the vestibule or next to the altar. To donate money, please see the “How You Can Help” section on this page. As Christ fed the multitudes with loaves and fishes, we are reminded that God blesses even the smallest gifts when they are shared in love. May we follow that example by helping feed the poor in our community with generous hearts and faithful hands.
