Kitty Genovese died after being attacked twice on a street in New York even while people heard her cries for help. He assailant after his first attach came back and completed his assault. No one want to get involved.
I have been to New York. There are so many people there on the streets...all moving like ants to their destinations. But everyone seems to be unaware of the others walking pass. There are so many people in New York that people just become immune to others. That attitude and mindset contributed to the death of Kitty Genovese who died in her mid twenties on a New York street somewhere in time..now that the even is over....and everyone goes back to their daily plans..and immunity from others.
There are thousands of "Kitty Genoveses" that we see every day. Are we aware of them? Are our eyes and ears open to them. Do we have our antennas up to possible needs of others? Once, I saw a woman with her head in her hands..just sitting by the road. I stopped and asked if she was all right. She said she was just PRAYING that someone would come and help her....she needed a ride to Marine City and I took her there..and she gave me a holy kiss as we parted...
So, please be totally aware....totally open...totally sensitive to the needs of others....The good Samatain was in the Gospels...and so must me we....Jesus told that story to you and to me...so that we would never pass anyway bye..but rather to take care of everyone in need..because He said: "Whatever you do to the least of my bretherin, you do to me."
Let us meet and love Jesus on the road....Kitty Genovese was Jesus dying on the road..but no one came to His aid...and He was left to die ..as Kitty died. For Jesus also said: "What ever you neglected to do for the least of breathren, you neglected to do it to me.."
Let us see Jesus in those around us.....
Peace and Love, pio
