If we have a keen eye, we are bound to see and mark people around us who may be suffering or going through a trial in life. Merely listening to them may lessen their burden. However, PERSISTENTLY keeping track of them and sympathizing with them every now and then may less their burden even more. Today’s social media has afforded us so many opportunities to keep track of people. We can now quite easily and constantly re-assure people and express our concern for them.

Thus we can, for example, use email, skype, whatsapp, viber, and facebook for this purpose

Even phones are quite cheap these days. Gone are the days when international calls were expensive.

Helping others may entitle us to receive help from others and also the mercy of God. We need this help and this mercy. We ourselves are weak and mean, wicked and sinful at times. If nothing else, then this selfish motive should egg us on. So let us then use technology to our advantage and make a special effort to remain in constant contact with people who are distressed.

This is a God-sent opportunity. Let us make [email protected] our motto right from today!
