I see the usual June "Reclaim the Month" posts to promote the Sacred Heart of Jesus and demote Pride, but I had another thought.
Today, I was at the local library (libraries these days are notoriously woke) and a woman had a table set up and stopped me to discuss community outreach. Then, as I was leaving the library, I see a woman loading books into the little free library outside the actual library and she had the stereotypical "woke Karen" look about her. Now, I realize that could be a completely false assessment, so I will not pass judgement on her, personally, but I will use that overall stereotype towards my point.
It can be really hard to actually get involved in community and charitable programs these days because they are absolutely swarming and very often controlled by progressive sin promoters with mental illnesses, sexual deviance, occult practices, and communist/fascist/woke-cult ideologies. Their basic purposes are often good and attractive to good Catholics who want to be charitable, but their execution of achieving that goodness is often fraught with political and social worldviews that oppose Catholicism.
I feel like we need to reclaim charity, too.
I took the literature from the woman at the community outreach booth to learn more about the programs for our communities. Maybe there's one or two that the Lord can direct me to
I thought about maybe writing and self-publishing/printing a children's book to add to local little free libraries, or maybe collect some Catholic books to add (with a little dose of Holy Water).
How can we be more present to the needs in our community? Or is the Catholic Church and the Catholics within it, for the most part, mostly stuck just treading water and giving to keep their Church building running and the pro-life momentum going?
