Mercy Thought

"People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway. If you do good, people may accuse you of selfish motives. Do good anyway. If you are successful, you may win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable. Be honest and transparent anyway. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. People who really want help may attack you if you help them. Help them anyway. Give the world the best you have and you may get hurt. Give the world your best anyway."

Mother Teresa

Child Aid

Child Aid

Our Vision: To provide children in Latin America with access to an education and health care.

Mission: Child Aid helps poor children by establishing partnerships with grassroots community organizations in Latin America working to remove barriers to their children’s health and education. These community organizations have identified crucial needs and developed strategies for positive change. They lack the financial and technical resources and experience in organization building that Child Aid provides. After helping a local group to develop the skills to sustain itself and grow, Child Aid moves on to assist somewhere else. In this way, we’re helping to create organizations that have a lasting and memorable impact … building brighter futures for poor children.

Mercy Thought

We must never undervalue any person. The workman loves not that his work should be despised in his presence. Now God is present everywhere, and every person is His work.

St. Francis de Sales

Prayer for Mercy

Forgive us, O Lord,
of all the times
that we have been part of the problem,
in choosing to turn our backs
to the needs of those you sent our way,
in choosing not to look into the eyes
of the poor,
the weary,
the lost
in choosing to pretend the anger
wasn't real,
the injustice wasn't done,
the truth wasn't twisted.

Help us, O Lord
to see with your eyes,
to hear with your ears,
to love with your heart.

O Heart of mercy,
big enough to embrace this whole
sinsick and weary world,
have mercy on us.

Teach us to be the hands of your mercy on this earth,
this day, and always,
Amen.
