Thank you for all of your prayers and for caring. It means so much to the children and people of La Esperanza. I’d like to share a few pictures and a prayer with you. May God bless you, keep you, shower you with love, and fill you with peace.
Prayer for the Eternal Moment
Sweet Spirit of Jesus, teach us ‘I am’ relationships, relationship in the present moment, relationships that belong to all humanity, in which all things have their being and come into being.
This is your light that shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.
The immigrant family becoming flesh and blood the moment we take note of them, believe in them, reach out to them. Of their presence, full of grace and truth, we have all received…
The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.
Damaris selling bread on the streets. The moment we gift her a smile and a word of hope…
The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.
Guadalupe who is a refugee in her own country because of gang wars. The moment we share a book and help find a way…
The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.
Caesar who died in a hail of gunfire. The moment we mourn and weep…
The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.
Luis’ high school graduation, the first in his family. The moment we help with a scholarship…
The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.
Alfonzo and José finding pictures of life. The moment we imagine a different world and care…
The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.
