Sister Ivonne visited the Valle Progreso Area, the place where the Congregation offered immediate relief and support in the hour of Emergency. Sister Yvonne met with some of the families to listen and share words of encouragement and hope with each of them.
As we prepare to accompany the people of Chimbote, Peru, in various nutrition, business, educational, and art projects, we remember that the city grew so rapidly because thousands of people left the highlands of Peru thinking that they could find work in the seaside city. Our group is exploring what life is like in an Andean region and some of the rich history of the Incas. With Cuzco as our base, we have taken tours and explored many Inca sites. People 500 years ago hewed, polished, and carried stones, building these amazing temples.
The Mass for the day of the Incarnate Word was celebrated in the garden of the CIW University in Mexico City, and this photo surprised us when we saw the ray of light that shone directly on the image of the Incarnate Word.

Ever since we come into this world, our mothers lead us to experience the love of God, giving us their affection and the food and tenderness we need to live fully.
If we could ask some students to reveal their experiences in the classroom, we would surely find some –victims of unprofessional or poorly trained teachers without vocation– who would be bored, feeling trapped in a system that fills them with irrelevant data and keeps them tied to their desks, as if they were ballasts.

If we are alive, we are in relationship. We were created as social beings by a Trinitarian God, a God in constant relationship with the Son and the Spirit. When speaking about, or defining, a theology of fundraising, one must keep this image in mind. Questions begin to arise. How can I live in this community, in this world, which cries out for alleviation of hunger, of thirst, for a home, a country, and not be touched? Should I close my eyes to these expressions of need, saying that others should attend to them, should I listen to them?
