    I read a book about these friars written by Luc Adrian. I've read it 3 times. It's inspiring. Praise the Lord for their work and testimony to the world how Jesus can transform you and your life and life of the people He wants to help through you. Amazing.

Now that I am in Paris, I find the Bronx scapes genuine and full of hope and promise and good natured and good souled people. Not everyone, but there's a fair share of saints among the people.

    So many memories. I built the clothing rack in the clothing room, I used black 3/4 inch piping after the old rack ripped away from the wall. I replaced all the furniture in the shelter. Got a really good deal on the couches from a store in the upper end of Harlem. Fr. Pio & I were classmates. Prior to him running the shelter it was Br. Peter, & before that, me. Now back home in NZ.

    Christ said, "The one who can accept this should accept it." That's not a "command". It's a SUGGESTION. St. Paul said "But if they can’t control themselves, they should get married, because it’s better to marry than to burn with passion." NOT A COMMAND. CALM YOURSELF.
