My husband John and I are connected to Haiti through John's work there as a doctor and through our organization, Haitian Hearts, which brings children and young adults to the United States for heart surgery. I write about our experiences in this lovely, suffering country. Haiti is the kind of place that breaks your heart, even as it fills it up.

Haitian Lenten Series: Joy of the Gospel 26
"We are not asked to be flawless, but to keep growing and wanting to grow as we advance along the path of the Gospel. . . No one is more patient than God our Father, no one is more understanding and willing to wait. He always invites us to take a step forward, but does not demand a full response if we are not yet ready. He simply asks that we sincerely look at our life and present ourselves honestly before him, that we be willing to continue to grow, asking from him what we ourselves cannot yet achieve."
Pope Francis, Joy of the Gospel
