Blog Action Day: The 'Power of We'

To be honest I have not taken part on any social community assistance but I strongly believe in their efforts. I commend their full intentions and sacrificing their time towards the benefit of our less fortunate brothers and sisters.

This year's blog action is focused on the 'Power of We' and keeping in mind Bahaullah's thoughts that
"So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth".
Two Sunday's ago a special missionary was invited in St. Kevin's Church in Eastwood to talk about the introduction of mission month, which was about the restoration of hope to those in desperate need. She talked about people in the Philippines that were affected by a massive typhoon back in 2009. The theme is to "Restore Hope, Share Grace". It is more about rebuilding the lives at Sitio Ronggot, which many families have lost their homes, livelihood and the community is at the lowest point in their lives.

I appreciate that there are a lot of selfless people in the world who have offered their time in building immediate spiritual, pastoral and practical support to these people affected. These kind of people makes the world a better place to live in and everything is possible as long as we are united in faith.
