A Life Poured Out in Service

Read Aloud

In a world that often celebrates success, status, and recognition, there are still those whose lives quietly reflect something far greater—a life fully surrendered to serving others.

Recently, the passing of Monsignor Robert Coll has brought attention to a powerful legacy of faith in action. He was the creator of the well-known “Rice Bowl” program, an initiative that has helped feed millions of people around the world.

But what stands out most isn’t just what he built—it’s how he lived.

For decades, his life was marked by compassion, humility, and a deep commitment to helping those in need. His work wasn’t about recognition—it was about obedience. It was about answering God’s call to love others in a real, tangible way.

And that’s what true faith looks like.

📖 “Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will repay him for his deed.” — Proverbs 19:17

Faith isn’t just something we believe—it’s something we live.

It shows up in the small acts:

• The helping hand

• The generous heart

• The willingness to serve when no one is watching

  
  

Monsignor Coll’s life is a reminder that impact doesn’t require a spotlight—just a willing heart.

You may not start a global program.

You may not reach millions.

But you can:

• Help one person

• Encourage one heart

• Serve one need

And that matters more than you know.

Because in God’s Kingdom, nothing done in love is ever wasted.

💡 Reflection

Where is God calling you to serve today?

It may not be big.

It may not be noticed.

But it could change someone’s life.
