At Lent, we pause to remember the Living Water that Christ has extended to us through his sacrifice on the Cross. We also make a concentrated effort to put our faith into action, engaging in specific acts of mercy that make this gift more accessible to our struggling brothers and sisters around the world.
Positive life transformations are possible when both spiritual and material help are provided to the poor. See how Caminando por la Paz is shining the light of Christ into dark situations in Guatemala City.
