When the tensions in Haiti are minimal, I run an annual medical clinic at St. Marc’s Episcopal School in one of the most remote places in the country.
When I think of The Feast of the Presentation of our Lord, I can’t help recalling the offertories I have witnessed in Haiti.
Haiti is a complicated country and everything from its people, faith, and art reflect this reality. And once again, they need the help of the world for a relief operation.
For years, when I thought of Palm Sunday, I envisioned Jesus riding into Jerusalem with fanfare, celebration, and glory.
