Haiti is a country with a complicated history and many challenges. It has faced political instability and relentless natural disasters. Its people have had to overcome extreme poverty, starvation, dehydration and a myriad of other sorrows. Still, the people of Haiti possess a unique beauty and strength of character.
I’ve seen this most vividly and recently in the endurance of Haitian Catholics in ministry – those who have dedicated their lives to serving their suffering brothers and sisters as representatives of Christ. In this commitment and dedication to others, these Catholic leaders have revealed God’s loving nature to the entire nation.
