Visit Orate Fratres for a hero story from Haiti. Love is a sign of contradiction that brings order out of chaos. To bury the dead is a corporal act of mercy. Pray for the poor people of this devastated country.

Miracles in Jacmel, Haiti

I remember reading about Mother Teresa once showing an emaciated infant rescued from a dumpster to a reporter and saying with joy, "Look, there's life in her." Praise God for the rescue and survival of little Elizabeth and for the medical workers there on the scene enabling such joyful miracle stories.
