January 20 2019
Second Sunday in Ordinary Time One of the most fundamental ways that
human beings offer love respect and
compassion to one another is through the
sharing of food and drink Certainly Je-
sus did that during the wedding feast at
Cana As Catholics we believe that Je-
susrsquo love for us is most fully expressed
when he feeds us with his own body and blood in the
Eucharist Jeannie who lived in an affluent city suburb
offered her services as a nurse on a Catholic medical mis-
sion The team travelled to a remote location in the hill
country of eastern Haiti setting up a temporary clinic next
to the local church For two weeks the volunteers worked
long hours with limited supplies in a makeshift clinic serv-
ing hundreds of people with medical problems As the day
came for the clinic to close the local people invited the
medical team to a feast Knowing the great poverty of the
Haitian people Jeannie wondered what would be served
As the food was placed before her she was amazed at the
variety and quantitymdashsweet potatoes fried goat with hot
sauce fried plantains bread cornmeal porridge beans and
rice and a special pineapple drink ldquoHowrdquo Jeannie asked
the local pastor ldquocould the people manage to give us this
good mealrdquo ldquoJeannierdquo he said ldquothey believe that God sent
you all to us to bring healing and this feast is their way of
thanking God with the best they could find They each gave
a little so that we could all share a lotrdquo Everyone includ-
ing the servers and the cooks ate until it was all gone
Jeannie thought that no food had ever tasted so good to her
She went home with a profound respect for the generosity
of people who ldquohave nothingrdquo but shared so much
