Haiti - Jacmel : Rebuild the cathedral, but not without mission 25/02/2011 13:12:47
"No reconstruction without mission" Mgr Launay Saturné, however, insisted that the physical reconstruction of buildings was not all. According to him there is "no reconstruction without mission, without evangelization, without prayer, without preaching the Word of God", while adding that "the fact that I survived proves to me that God still need me and I have a mission. As shepherd of my diocese, I tell to the people who have lost everything: even if everything is lost, God at least left us life. We have therefore the task to work on a more human and reconciled world, and a better future".
