...people. I am thankful that no matter how far away from home people might be, or if you are in a new place, you can still share in common humanity and love with others. We were blessed in that we were able to host some visitors yesterday, Father Mike and Cal from Elias Piña, and Emily, Fidel and Brian from Thomassique, Haiti. We were also fortunate to be able to have an "Americanized" meal, lots of turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, green beans, sweet potato casserole, and tator tots. For desserts, made-from-scratch apple pie, chocolate cake and cheesecake.
Being here in Bánica has really shown me that too many people in this world go hungry, and while it is not wrong to have a feast, especially as a reflection of the heavenly feast everyone will be able to share one day, we, especially need to keep in mind where we are. I am grateful that we were able to partake in this feast, and I pray that it will nourish us and give us the strength we need to continue serving this beautiful community of people. Saint Nicholas, pray for us!
