Spirit

In the midst of the crisis there are some things that still bring joy. Like how the church continues to respond to the incomprehensible need. We have lost loved ones, the church building functions as a temporary shelter for the homeless and a funeral home yet we have not lost the will to help those in worse circumstances.

Some of those you see have experienced the terror of Typhoon Sendong personally (some have escaped with only the cloths they wore that evening) and yet they joyfully do what they can to help others.

More striking, they haven’t lost the automatic Pinoy response of smiling at the camera.

Call it what you want, to me that is spirit.
