They carry the label that the world gives them - vague, loser, alcoholic, prostitute - until they meet with Larry Petrus, to discover that these nicknames are wrong.
Few people who pass through the doors of the Catholic center, make a good impression as they carry their anger, make requests for money, smell stale wisky, wear clothes that have not been washed in weeks.
Larry, who was 76 years old when I met him, did not see anything of it when he volunteered at the Catholic center on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. Larry does not have a perfect vision when it comes to the poor; He simply puts on a pair of dark glasses over his eyes and comes face to face with the children of God - a part of what God thinks of them, I affirm, since God does not regret any of his creations.

When he started volunteering more than ten years ago, he arranged clothes but one day someone asked him to help write a resume. Very soon everyone started asking him to write one, and from then on they called him the Curriculum Man, someone hung a sign to advertise Larry in case he needed a cover letter. - The curriculum is like the label of a lada; He says all about a person he has inside and offers, "Larry said in a voice so soft I had to lean forward to hear him.
The man with hair as thin as a baby's and black eyebrows hanging like thick question marks.
The man asks: What did you achieve there? ? What are your dreams? Your hopes? Your hobbies? Larry never delves into the reasons why they ended up being poor.
Society makes them feel guilty enough, he never stops telling these people how good they are and asks them to manifest themselves as God created them, he picks up the pieces of himself they have lost, he finds the hidden value in every lost soul that goes through the door because he has trained to do it.
When you look for the good in everything, you not only find the good but you magnify it.
The answer that Maria gave when she found out that she was pregnant says: "My soul Magnifies the Lord"
Likewise I personally say that my soul has the habit of magnifying what is good or holy. What would happen if your soul really magnified God? What would happen if you saw the good in everything, to God in each person?
It would mean that every minute of every day you would search with a special magnifying glass, the manifestation of the divine. Imagine seeing God in your boss, in the driver who goes in front of you in the car, in the neighbor who never cuts his lawn, in the screaming lord who goes on the bus, imagine seeing only the good of his partner, imagine seeing only the good thing about your children, in your daughter when she makes a tremendous tantrum in the hall, imagine contemplating God in the middle in a cancer diagnosis
