Susan at Walk for the Poor, St. Patrick Parish

 

I'M CONVINCED WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I'M SURE.

 

Pope Francis said this during his talk to the US Congress...a talk that mesmerized me. His image also accompanied a large group of us at St. Pat's parish on Sept 26th when we walked to raise money for those in need at my home parish.

 

I left the US on Sept 29th and arrived here in Nairobi last night.  The trip was long but otherwise uneventful.  I'm happy to be back in Kenya.  (As an update, it is now 3rd Oct and I arrived in Mombasa well last night!)

Pope Francis will be coming to Kenya at the end of November and I hope that he will bring as much inspiration and encouragement as I felt in the US.  I also hope that we will all continue to reexamine our lives in light of the needs of those less fortunate so that we can make a difference in the world we live in.                                                                                                     

     While at home I saw the full lunar eclipse on Sept 27th.  Magnificent, as is this photo, courtesy of Kevin Kuehn, for those of you who missed it.  When I reached Nairobi last night I saw the same moon as I walked out of the airport, now beginning it's wane.  I had a wonderful break with my family and friends and now I'm happy to be back in Kenya...intending to make a difference...for the better! 







PEACE OF THE THIS WONDERFUL MOONLIGHT TO YOU!
