We just celebrated Thai New Year (Songkran) & Holy Week & Easter. You can see from the photos. Our young ladies performed their own Traditional Thai dance. Klong Toey Slum style & hauntingly beautiful, offering me their own blessing by pouring lustral water over my hands & feet& asking the Angels to protect me. To protect us all.  Also an asking forgiveness for the past  year’s ‘goof-up’s. Plus, most importantly, forgiving me, for my ‘walking away’ dismissing the fact they are orphans. 

In this difficult time please help Mercy Centre, walk together with us to educate the slum of Thailand… 50th Anniversary Mercy Centre

To me, Fr. Joe, the old priest, I imagine how much like young Jesus this young boy must have looked and acted, and I try to show respect and honor. 

‘Thanks for walking with us’ said Father Joe

Merry Christmas. Deep in the heart of each of us, is a ‘broken alleluia.’  So often, almost always in the slums of Klong Toey, and here at Mercy Centre;  the whispers, tears, the silent gestures of the children  say so much about sadness and being dumped off  left alone in an abandoned building or a bus stop.  That’s the broken part and the alleluia is the joy of Christmas of being loved. Being found. 

May  the beautify of our dance, and strength of the Holy Family also bless and protect you.
