Gratitude is action

A volunteer who has served in RSS for 18 years shared with us the story of growing up in RSS:

Gratitude is action 😊😍

In the month of gratitude, we will share six short stories written by volunteers serving the "Matteo Ricci Social Service" and recovered patients living in leprosy rehabilitation homes. The theme is "Matteo Ricci Social Service". "Growing up in service" - an invisible and infinite force unites their hearts.

Welcome everyone to experience the story of growing up in the big family of RSS😊

Gratitude is action 💖💕💖💕

Since serving the recovered patients in 2006, I have heard, seen, and learned the mission of "I am not here to be served, but to serve others."🌟🌟🌟🌟

I changed my mind from talking about "hemp", and gradually developed into a brother-in-law with people who have recovered from leprosy. When we go out, the recovered patients are looking forward to, waiting for, and caring about us. When we came back, they went back to their rooms with peace of mind. When I was tired from work, seeing them all made me feel warm in my heart. When we come back, we will also buy them food and drinks, just like parents treat their children, full of love, which can only be shown in actions!

Matteo Ricci's leaders and staff at all levels also take action. Whether they come to visit the recovered patients and us, or when we go out to study or travel, they are all hands-on, regardless of their own hard work, and take extra care of us. What I experienced was the total love I felt for the recovered person. “Owe no one any more except to love one another, for whoever loves another has fulfilled the law” (Romans 13:8).
