“Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing that have received–you take only what you have given.” — St. Francis of Assisi
This week I have the privilege of being on mission. We are about an hour and a half outside of Cancún building a chapel with our Mexican friends in La Zone Agricola. They have Mass just once a month (when a priest can visit) yet they come every week to catechism given by two young women from Cancun. Please pray we can help them finish their chapel which will replace this very provisional structure which they have been using up until now.
