Haiti

Obviously, what happened in Haiti is horrific. Tragedies like this punctuate our responsibilities not only as Christians, but as Americans in possession of most of the world's wealth and resources. Christ commands us to feed, clothe and care for our brothers and sisters in need. It is simply imperative that we live our Christian values. I agree with almost none of President Obama's opinions, policies and decisions, but his decision the other day to send our troops and $100,000,000 in aid made me extremely proud to be an American. He said that we will stand with Haiti and help them recover. He did not put any conditions on the help; just a steely resolve to do the right thing and I suspect more will be done as the gravity of the tragedy unfolds. Parishes all over America are taking second collections today. Let's follow the example set by our President and share our treasure with Haiti.
