In Sunday’s first reading, Isaiah describes a loving, creative God “O Lord, you are our father; we are the clay and you the potter; we are all the work of your hands.” God molds us in God’s image, in life and transcending life. Having lost my wife Linda one year ago this week, the readings brought to mind a story early on in our journey with cancer.
Our hearts are broken with those of our Sisters and Associates in Central America at the devastation wrought by the two recent hurricanes, and many are asking how they can help. It is not possible for us to send money directly to the Sisters, but the General Leadership Team has sent them a sizeable contribution in the name of all in the Congregation. They recommend that those of us who wish contribute to a well-known agency based in the United States that provides aid to Central America, like Catholic Relief Services. All of us continue to carry our suffering Central American sisters and brothers in prayer.
