Needs of the Church in the Holy Land
2017: $2022 2016: $3035. Thank you for your generosity. We can cure physical diseases with medicine but the only cure for loneliness, despair and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread but there are many more who are dying for a little love. Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be given, but they need your hearts to love them. So spread love everywhere you go. ~ St. Teresa of Calcutta
