Denver Catholic

four members of the Little Sisters of the Poor and 26 members of the Christ in the City missionary program. "Bless and strengthen these humble servants who are close to the Most Sacred Heart of Je- sus," he prayed. For love of Christ Among those receiving the blessing was Teri Tolpa who has ministered to the homeless and poor in Denver since last August. Tolpa, 29, is from Virginia and plans to enter the Sisters of Life program in New York City this fall. (Read a story about her on Page 9.) She dedicated a year to the Christ in the City missionary program, which includes visit- ing the homeless and helping unwed mothers. "We just talk with the home- less and other people who have fallen through the cracks and help them find the resources they need," Tolpa said after the Mass. "It is powerful to realize the dignity of the poor and that they are people just like you and me, but perhaps they do not have supportive families and friends." The missionaries do not pros- elytize, but often the homeless— sometimes shocked at the kind- ness of strangers—ask the young adults why they care, Tolpa said. Religious freedom allows the missionaries to do their work without fear, she said. "Mother Teresa has taught us to love until it hurts. As Arch- bishop Aquila said, 'it all starts with the Eucharist and that is the source that allows us to go to the people,'" she said. "People ask why we do it and we tell them, 'for the love of Christ.'"
