In reading Irene’s post on family reunions, I have to say
that that is exactly what it feels like when I come to Haiti, and especially
when I go to my twin parish in Cerca Carvajal.
People everywhere are so welcoming; they make you feel like part of the
family. They are genuinely glad that we are
here. God has created us as one family
that He intends to be one big happy family.
From time to time we catch a brief glimpse of God’s vision for all of
us, and that is what I see most clearly when I am here. As I look at people I begin to see aunts and
uncles, cousins and grandparents in the people I meet. From time to time, we may have minor
squabbles, but what would any family be without that? What holds us together is the love of our
most precious Lord! Truly Jesus did show
us the way with his acceptance of everyone, from lepers to adulterers and
sinners of all kinds. He welcomes us all
and teaches us to do likewise, to see His face in each person we meet. I still don’t know why, but it is so much
easier for me to realize this in Haiti.
This will be my final post to the blog, but I invite you to view my blog ( kathygross.blogspot.com). I will be posting about my time in Cerca Carvajal, Oct 13 until I return on November 5th. Bondye bene nou! (God bless you!)
