One mark of the man who surrenders to God's will is the ability to find joy in all circumstances. His prayer mirrors that of Jesus on the Cross: "Father, let not my will but Thy Will be done!" Brother De Paul Kondark exemplifies this type of individual. Despite possessing only 25 cents (Rs 2/-), Brother De Paul demonstrated an extraordinary level of faith.
With his modest funds, Brother De Paul established a "House of Charity" in Minneapolis, where he provided free hot meals to the undernourished and starving. To the recipients, this "House of Charity" seemed like a miracle that could not possibly endure. Nevertheless, day after day, the doors of the facility opened precisely when needed, and long lines of impoverished individuals entered to receive the nourishment they had never known before. Their gratitude was immense.
In the "House of Charity," no one was ever turned away without sustenance, and the facility never ran out of food. Brother De Paul never sought recognition for his efforts, attributing everything to the Lord's grace. He humbly stated, "May I continue to be his servant!" In these turbulent times, when many question the value of life, we can look to Brother De Paul and those like him as shining examples.
The life of surrender, characterized by unwavering faith and selflessness, is indeed the life worth living.
