A message from Rev. Vang C. Tran, CSsR,

God led me to visit three pockets of hill tribes lepers located deep in the woods; where no one would expect to find anyone living. Being ousted from their villages because of their illness, a few families gather in some distant areas and try to make their living. Many men that I met no longer have a full set of fingers or toes. They leaned on crutches to come out to meet us. Many children are among them, so beautiful, so gentle, who were mostly very shy, some even scared, at our presence. They showed us some children, as young as one year old, with signs of leprosy on their skin. Lack of food, of water, of proper hygiene, of medicine, and so forth are all factors that contribute to a worsening of their condition. These were only some of the small colonies of lepers that I encountered; there are certainly many more. I pray that we be able to do something for them.

God Bless You!

Saint Francis of Assisi.
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred . . . let me sow love
Where there is injury . . . pardon
Where there is doubt . . . faith
Where there is despair . . .hope
Where there is darkness . . . light
Where there is sadness . . .joy
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled . . .as to console
To be understood . . .as to understand
To be loved . . . as to love
For it is in giving . . .that we receive,
It is in pardoning, that we are pardoned,
It is in dying . . .that we are born to eternal life

God Bless You!
