"On a good day Haiti is hell for nine million illiterate, unemployed peasants. Tuesday, January 12...hell just got worse."
"Hell just got worse." How can a place be both heaven and hell on earth at the same time. Haiti is heaven on earth to me. It is the place that I was created by my Father to love. It makes sense that it would be the only place I feel truly alive. It is heaven. And then I drive the streets and I see dirty, barefoot children's sorrow filled eyes and I see hell. A life of living in Haiti, not by choice, is hell on earth.

O Jesus, our eternal High Priest, give us truly holy priests who, inflamed with the fire of Your divine love,
seek nothing but Your greater glory and the salvation of our souls. Amen.
