Either
we have hope within us or we don't. It is a dimension of the soul and
it is not essentially dependent on some particular observation of the
world. It is an orientation of the spirit, an orientation of the heart.
It transcends the world that is immediately experienced and is anchored
somewhere beyond its horizon.

God of Compassion, We pray for all those whose lives have been changed forever by Hurricane Katrina.
For the broken mother in New Orleans who had to choose which members of
her family could go into a small rescue boat and who had to be left
behind on a rooftop; And for all the mothers in the devastated areas whose hearts are broken by their families sufferings,
Have Mercy, O Holy One.

 Only
a week in Nicaragua… What could one see, do, understand, in such a
quick visit? Yes, the time was short, but I was able to glimpse the
richness of a people, the beauty of the country, the commitment of my
sisters. The visit also enabled me to join the rscj community in
celebrating 25 years of our presence in Nicaragua.

 They began arriving in a steady stream on June 19th.
They came to “risk something different and discover the loving face of
Christ”…they came “with a small vision of the world, yet knowing a
bigger world was out there”…they came “tired of the routine of
life”…they came “to help and to serve others”….they came because they
wanted to “change the world”!

 ...I
woke up on April 3rd in N’Djamena, and there was no question of where I
was! Africa: birds singing, a gentle breeze blowing, two mosquito
bites! A second trip to Chad, again with JRS – a gift. This time, a
journey with a purpose: the evaluation of the education projects in the
two camps where JRS works together with the local Caritas agency.

 Madeleine Sophie's home in Joigny was warmly decked with boughs of
holly - and with the warmth of the community of Rue Davier. The doors
opened wide over the weekend to welcome guests who arrived from several
corners of France and beyond in order to celebrate the 10th birthday of
the Centre Sophie Barat as a space of prayer and reflection. And of
course, Sophie's presence and special welcome for each one were
especially tangible on this occasion.

 Holy and Loving God, we ask for your forgiveness for the sins committed in our name:
for our brothers and sisters around the world who suffer because of our prosperity;
for the children who hunger and thirst for a chance at life;
for the violence we see and hear everyday in our streets, our homes, and our words;

 Where does everything begin? Think
of something you walk on or at least something that supports what you
walk on everyday. It's underneath every roadway, sidewalk, racetrack
and parking lot, every chem-lawn, swimming pool, subway, and stadium. BIG HINT: it's underneath grass. Getting it? DIRT! Here
at Sprout Creek Farm we call it soil.

 Coming
to Washington in order to work on the international website is indeed a
time for “mind-stretching”. Yesterday this “stretching” took the shape
of an opportunity to put my body where my heart is: with refugees and
displaced, especially those in the African continent.

Life has no pity;
It is just there.
Always watching and waiting for the next thing to happen,
Just there to be spent poorly or to be spent well,
