IN HIS NAME WE CHOOSE TO RESPOND
BEING TRUE TO YOURSELF AND BEING AUTHENTIC
“Is not just a matter of concentrating on one’s
own self, but also involves deliberation about
how one’s commitments make a contribution to
the good of the public world in which one is a
participant.” Smith & Smith
SUMMARY OF HOPE IN ACTION
What I have learned from this collective active action of hope is this.
In many respects the act of listening to a person’s story and showing them that we heard what they
said by putting our faith and resources and our abilities into action, speaks volumes in the helping
profession and to that said person or the many that follow them. In retrospect we hear you and we are
doing something about it. What I have learned with working side by side with other people wanting to
make a change or educate a community on local or global issues; or raising money for a cause or just
simply saying we are here, we care and we want to make a difference. It’s extraordinary and sometimes
overwhelming when a few or a community comes together and express why they are there and what
brought them out to help. I felt a common bond with many at a moment in time; it’s unique and very
powerful. A person learns that they are not alone in this world and you truly feel the love and
generosity that is in a community. I felt I’m a part of something bigger than myself, for me it’s about
serving others. I enjoy that, it makes me feel good and selfless internally and that I am serving a
purpose and fulfilling a divine plan.
