When we hear the word ‘courage’… We may think of a fireman valiantly struggling to save lives in a burning building. We may have in mind a scientist resolutely engaged in a lonely and difficult struggle to combat a disease. We may think of the Second World War resistance heroes and heroines who went to their deaths under torture, never revealing information to their Gestapo interrogators; We may think of a soldier who fights on his own to safeguard civilians in his town. But many less conspicuous examples of courage occur in everyday life:the child who confronts a catastrophic illness with unusual dignity and determination is courageous; The pregnant woman who was told that she may endanger her heath if she goes ahead with pregnancy, yet she does it, she is courageous; The construction worker who does his job without complaint even though he knows his work is dangerous is courageous; The woman who goes against all the odds and becomes an executive in a business organization in spite of her disability is courageous; The child who helps his struggling-with-poverty family; Click here to read the full text of Dr. Anna Abram

We arrived at our house in Saigon in a beautiful morning saying, “Finally, we are “home”. Yes, “home” for Assumptionists summarises our total integration into the common life. Yet, for us “home” is still something we have to create together.

From Father René Mihigo Marhegane: Dear Brothers and Sisters, This evening we will have been in TOGO and in the Diocese of SOKODE for a total of two weeks. Here are a few snippets of news. We are now connected to the internet (last night). Deo Gratias ! Finally we are able to communicate. And thank God, our journey here went smoothly. The welcome in Lomé, the capital, by Mr. and Mrs. Akpalo Venance, friends of the Assumption and in Sokodé by his Eminence Ambroise, by the Sisters of the Family of the Assumption, the Diocesan priests and others was indeed a source of encouragement and surely an acknowledgement that we have truly responded to a need of the Church.
