We see from where we stand!

Sacred Heart Parish, Port au Prince


Compassionate Jesus, you give us the mandate to alleviate the suffering of others.
Give us a new heart and a new spirit.

You told us to reach out to the hungry, the thirsty, the stranger, the naked, the ill,

Give us a new heart and a new spirit.

Help us to reach out to those in pain–friends, neighbors, and even total strangers.
Give us a new heart and a new spirit.

Teach us to join our efforts with those of others, to take actions whenever we can.
Give us a new heart and a new spirit.
