Dan Rodricks: Devoted for decades to Baltimore’s needy, Esther Reaves helped thousands

Esther Reaves made the most of her time on Earth, not by accumulating wealth, building skyscrapers or sending rockets into space. She devoted her life to helping people mired in poverty, people who were sick, hungry, lonely and homeless. She found her calling in the Gospel of Matthew: “I was hungry and you gave me something to eat. … I was a stranger and you invited me in.”
