One of the privileges of this ministry is being a companion on the journey with many wonderful people. Over the holidays, we heard from every continent via text, email, or post. Although many of the senders live in difficult conditions, their messages had common themes hope for the future and gratitude for the work of our Mission Societies.
From Brazil, Father Pat McGillicuddy wrote, Wishing you all a very happy New Year filled with hope for a better world. I pray we will be more loving and caring for our world, especially for those who need us the most: the poor and the abandoned.
