This morning Dean and I brought communion to 16 people in La Legua and the Hospice Center. We experienced all kinds of infirmities, especially the blind or near blind. The sun shines daily in the Piuran desert and many people develop cataracts because they do not wear sunglasses, which are something you do not buy when you are hungry.
I had the afternoon “off,” but not free. I prepared to preach at the evening Mass and to put all St. Monica donations for January together in a report for February food and gifts in Piura.
The end is in sight since we leave the day after Ash Wednesday. It is such a biter-sweet time and we leave people we love and return to people we love.
