From April 13, 2020 On Holy Thursday, I opened a financial statement the bookkeeper had sent the day before. The bottom line was that when you subtracted the credit card debt for both Santa Chiara and Pax et Bonum Communications, we had a total of $27,592. Our monthly operating cost are just over that amount.

From April 12, 2020 Easter beckons us to build bridges to unity, bridges to a distant shore where common ground is found and peace prevails. Easter is a time of healing, a time for us to embody Christ’s work of reconciliation. We are called to realize the unity of creation.

From April 11, 2020 None of us is entitled to anything. Yet God gives us everything. As angels of compassion we need to commit ourselves to nonviolence and to growing in awareness of the needs of others as we increase our sensitivity to new and better possibilities of serving each other.
