Christ yesterday, today, beginning, and the end. His are the times and the ages alleluia. On the earth we live as part of the church militant. We cannot wage a war without weaponry or an objective. The weapon is Christ alive in the most perfect unity between us. The objective is, “So that we may all be one.” (Chiara Lubich)  I am so great full that the mother church has embraced us with the feast of Easter vigil mass.

We also plant fruits such as pawpaws, oranges and guavas. We plant and...
