During Lent, don’t just give something up — GIVE comfort to the desperate poor

“We didn’t eat today,” Philomise whispered inside her mud hut in northern Haiti. “Yesterday, we got a little something from a neighbor.” When her children ask why there is no food, Philomise tenderly encourages them to try to sleep so they won’t think about their hunger. The woeful mother then sits up, waits and prays for her husband to return with any sign of hope.

“Can you ease my suffering?”

Every day, Philomise Phanor asks God this heart-rending question. She is a mother paralyzed with anguish and stress over not being able to feed her children. Her despair has seized her emaciated body and soul. Philomise’s spirit has no rest.
