CHARITY is Charlie Brown

Description "Everyone who makes himself great will be humbled, and ever yone who humbles himself will be made great." ~ Luke 14:11

The c artoon character Charlie Brown is based on a real person. He worked with ju venile delinquents, often housing them temporarily in his own home. After the real Charlie Brown died in 1983, a friend said of him, "He saw his ow n life as the doing of daily works of charity in imitation of Christ and th e saints."

Charles Schulz - the Charlie Brown creator - was a friend of the real Charlie. He sometimes offered him a share of the cartoon profi ts, but Charlie always refused. He had no big interest in money. Nor did C harlie go about telling people that he was the real Charlie Brown. ~ Mark L ink, S.J.

Can you ever recall bragging about yourself or seeking re cognition from others? To what extent do you still do it? Why?
