Virtue: A Virtue is a habitual and firm disposition to do good. It allows the person not only to perform good acts, but to give the best of themselves. The virtuous person tends toward the good with all their sensory and spiritual powers; they pursue the good and choose it in concrete actions.

Haitian Relief

2010-01-19

Greetings, everyone.

The disaster in Haiti is being well covered by all media. Everyone knows
what is happening there. Our thoughts stray to the events unfolding
there as does our curiosity to see and hear the stories unfolding on the
television and in the papers. Our interest and concern mingles with our
prayers. Many of us feel a renewed sense of thankfulness for the
relative stability and safety we have in Canada with our loved ones
nearby. For those of you who feel called to donate money to the cause of
helping the people of Haiti I have a web site address for Development
and Peace:

www.devp.org

Development and Peace is a top-notch social justice organization and a
key member of the Canadian Church with whom many of our schools have
partnered over the years. It is a very efficient organization and
closely connected with people on the ground. In Haiti they support 200
medical clinics, for example. This is one way Development and Peace
connects in a real way with the crisis. Donations to Development and
Peace will be well used and appreciated deeply by the people who need
help and the people doing the helping.

Peace of Christ to you,
Michael Buhler
