Today
we heard how we have all been chosen to do God's work. He will show us
what that work is. He will give us everything we need to carry it out.
We have written down some of the things that God has given us to help
us do well. |

Today,
Father David Everitt flies out to Zimbabwe in Africa. He will be a priest
for the Mother of Peace Community, who look after 120 AIDS orphans.
The children have lost their parents because of disease, so when they
arrive, they are frightened and confused, besides being in poor health
themselves. In the Community, they are cared for and made to feel safe
again.
Father David will live in Mutemwa, a village where 35 people have leprosy
and 25 people have disabilities.
Here are pictures of Father David working last time he was in Africa.

We
had a wonderful Mass, which Father David celebrated with Father John.
People from Zimbabwe who live locally now came to sing with us. They used
their own language, called 'Shona'. Some played drums or shakers.
We made a card for Father David, to wish him well as he goes off to do
God's work. |

Dear
God,
You give
us lots of gifts, so we can do your work. Help us to remember that life
is the very best gift of all.
Amen. |
