Lent, the Road to Fullness of Life (starting from where you are now)
/Dear Friends,
I am at a loss for words right now about how difficult things are for the Haitian people, and of course for the world in general.
Just like you, we keep working hard, our faith is in overdrive, and we are confident in God's promise that we will be rewarded with fruit that will last.
I am sure you agree that It's a great mix- our feeble efforts, and God's great blessing on them!
I am very pleased to share with you the 2020 report of our ongoing work in Haiti.
Let's appreciate the part each has played to fill the year, if it were a glass, at least half full of water.
The file is big to send any other way, but you can see by clicking on this long link:
I also share with those who might be interested some of my own reflections on the liturgical readings for Lent.

(You will find the last two to come, on stlukehaiti.org, as Lent continues.)
During Lent we recall God's ancient remedy for spiritual illness: prayers, self-denial, and good works for the poor.
Let's take this medicine gladly.
Thanks for what you do in your daily lives, to help those who are in in trouble or heavily burdened.
With gratitude and prayers,
