Empowering the Weakest: For this issue, World Mission chose two vivid examples of faith in action. One comes from far away Brazil, and tells us of a Church’s mental health project which intends to heal the psychological damages induced by extreme poverty. The other is in the Philippines itself, where a world’s renowned foundation, PREDA, has been working for decades to free endangered children and to empower the weakest wherever they may be. Its founder and president, Fr. Shay Cullen, explains: “Mission is spreading the good news that we have God-given rights, we are God’s family, and that everyone is precious, no matter how poor or needy.” An option that we all must adopt and share. |
