As you know, the situation in Haiti is dire and NPH needs your support to continue the necessary work caring for children in Haiti. St. Damien is the only pediatric hospital in Haiti. Any amount you can contribute will help this necessary and urgent cause.
There will be a special basket for donations.

A Reflection from
Henri Nouwen
God’s Non-Violent Love
|
On the cross, Jesus has shown us how far God’s love goes. It’s a love that embraces even those who crucified him. When Jesus is hanging nailed to the cross, totally broken and stripped of everything, he still prays for his executioners: “Father, forgive them; they do not know what they are doing.”
Jesus’ love for his enemies knows no bounds. He prays even for those who are putting him to death. It is this, the enemy-loving God, that is offered to us. To forgive our enemies doesn’t lie within our power. That is a divine gift.
That’s why it’s so important to make Jesus the heart and center of your life. It’s there that you receive the love that empowers you to take the way that Jesus has taken before you: a narrow way, a painful way, but the way that gives you true joy and peace and enables you to make the non-violent love of God visible in this world.
|
Please pray for those who are searching in their lives for peace, joy, and unconditional love; may they come to know Jesus through the example of others.
|
Love,
Fr. Dale and Pastor Mark
