For forty days we’ve been sacrificing; whether we’ve given up a luxury, fasted or helped others, our Lenten journey has brought us closer to God, closer to a new beginning. Our Church, too, has experienced a new beginning with the election of Pope Francis.
In his homily on March 14th, His Holiness said:
“Building. Building the Church. We speak of stones: stones are solid; but living stones, stones anointed by the Holy Spirit. Building the Church, the Bride of Christ, on the cornerstone that is the Lord himself…”
One of our Medical Volunteers, Carol Williard, is an example of a “living stone”. Carol is a Physical Therapist and is currently volunteering in Uganda. Carol saw the need for a properly equipped, child-friendly rehabilitation space at the Good Shepherd Home for Orphaned and Vulnerable Children. Carol took it upon herself to rebuild the facility, sacrificing her own resources and free time to complete the project.
By supporting CMMB, you too are a “living stone”. The people and projects supported by your generosity are improving the lives of the poorest of the poor in the developing world.
Wishing you and yours a blessed Easter. May God continue to bless you for all the good that you do.
