完結篇
我將會在加東營結束後第二天回港。在此，感謝大家在過去六年來給予我的支持與愛護。我將被派往荃灣柴灣角的聖母領報堂服務。(Annunciation Church)現以德蘭修女的一篇默想作互勉。

願基督的平安永遠與你們同在。生命是緣份，勿讓它溜掉。
生命是美，欣賞它。
生命是福氣，品嚐它。
生命是夢境，實現它。
生命是挑戰，面對它。
生命無價，不要糟塌它。
生命是財富，保有它。
生命是愛心，享受它。
生命是諾言，滿全它。
生命是勞苦，克服它。
生命是樂韻，詠唱它。
生命是奮鬥，接受它。
生命是冒險，勇往直前。
生命是運氣，讓它成事。
生命誠可貴，不要破壞它。
生命是生命，強力奪取之。
德蘭修女

There was a one hour interview on CNBC with Warren Buffet, the second richest man who has donated $31 billion to charity. Here are some very interesting aspects of his life:

1. He bought his first share at age 11 and he now regrets that he started too late!

2. He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering newspapers.

3. He still lives in the same small 3-bedroom house in mid-town Omaha, that he bought after he got married 50 years ago. He says that he has everything he needs in that house. His house does not have a wall or a fence.

4. He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or security people around him.

5. He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world’s largest private jet company.

6. His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63 companies.. He writes only one letter each year to the CEOs of these companies, giving them goals for the year. He never holds meetings or calls them on a regular basis. He has given his CEO’s only two rules.

Rule number 1: Do not lose any of your share holder’s money.

Rule number 2: Do not forget rule number 1.

7. He does not socialize with the high society crowd. His past time after he gets home is to make himself some pop corn and watch Television.

8. Bill Gates, the world’s richest man met him for the first time only 5 years ago. Bill Gates did not think he had anything in common with Warren Buffet. So he had scheduled his meeting only for half hour. But when Gates met him, the meeting lasted for ten hours and Bill Gates became a devotee of Warren Buffet.

9. Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on his desk. His advice to young people: ‘Stay away from credit cards and invest in yourself and

Remember:
A. Money doesn’t create man but it is the man who created money.
B. Live your life as simple as you can .
C. Don’t do what others say, just listen to them, but do what you feel is good.
D. Don’t go by brand name; just wear those things in which you feel comfortable.
E. Don’t waste your money on unnecessary things; rather spend them on who really is in need .
F. After all it’s

Peace of the Lord!

I just heard from Fred Mangano (NC volunteer) who waited out the Hurricane with the Brothers in Kingston…sleeping on mats in Sacred Heart.  He said he glimpsed the Lord’s awesome might from about 2pm to midnight. 

The Brothers are all fine.  Faith center lost it’s gate, the retreat house made it thru with minor damage, the big tree by the bird houses just outside of the guest house is no longer a big tree.  All of which is minor compared to what’s in the streets.  Carnage is everywhere.    Gunshots are already being heard because of looting.

After mass this morning, Father, the Brothers, & the volunteers, had a meeting to begin to prepare for this uncertain day.  Fred said, Father’s homily this morning (if you haven’t already, please read the Gospel Matt 19:16-22) was only about giving….and giving all.  They needed “courage and generosity to face the next weeks”.  The brothers were to open their “storehouses” and give everything to the poor.  They were their first priority.  Save nothing for themselves because he knew the Lord would provide for them…they would make do.

Of course, the needs are great.  First priority is an urgent request for food.  The Brothers will open a food line but they will be out of food in 2 or 3 days.  They have collected some water but not near enough to give to all the folks who have none.  At this meeting, it was decided to ask people who can provide funds to please do so immediately via credit card on the MOP website

http://www.missionariesofthepoor.org/you%20can%20help.htm. That’s the quickest way to get funds into their hands for them to purchase food and water.    Also they will need lots of plywood, nails, roofing material but the immediate need is food and water.  They don’t know when the power or water will come back….it could be a week.  

I get tears in my eyes when I think of what the Brothers are doing to provide just a little comfort to these people.  They can’t help all of Jamaica but they can and will help many.  Beside the food line, they know their mission homes will be bursting with people who need shelter, food or water.  As soon as we can get photos from them, I’ll pass it on.

Servant Leaders please pass on this request to all you know.  Please also pray for the strength and courage of each Brother & volunteer working from dawn into the night.  Please pray for their protection.

As I hear reports, I promise to pass them on to keep you informed.

「看罷﹗落後的將成為領先的，領先的將成為落後的。」(路12﹕30)

耶穌說這句話的目的，不是要求我們和別人比較。因為每一個人有不同的恩寵。聖保祿也曾經自勉的說﹕「我要努力，避免我把福音傳了給他人時，我自己反而被摒諸天國門外。」 耶穌曾經說過一個比喻﹕有兩個人一起進聖殿祈禱。一個昂起頭來，對天主說﹕我不像其他的人勒索、不義、姦淫……我每週兩次禁食，凡我所得的，都捐獻十分之一。另一個則捶著胸膛說﹕「天主，可憐我這個罪人罷﹗」耶穌說那後者，回到家裡的時候便成為義人，而前者卻不然。耶穌給我們指出﹕滿招損，謙受益。為此，要努力不懈去走聖善的道路，便需要有謙虛的心，去承認錯誤，同時有勇氣，去不斷重新開始。
