Gentiles. To prove them that, Jesus reminded them two events in Jewish
history. One was during the life of Elijah, the prophet. The Hebrews in
Elijah’s time were suffering. People were dying for hunger. A prophet
came from God to a widow and because of her faith, God saved her. The
problem was she was not a Jew, she was a Gentile. The same was true in
the story of Elisha . Leprosy was a plague spreading throughout Israel
but God used a prophet to save only one leper, and he was a gentile. This
was painful for the Jews of the time of Jesus to accept it because they
were considered themselves as God’s chosen, that no one else would be
saved. That God’s love and favor were manifested only in and among
them. That is why when Jesus challenged them about that belief , they
were deeply upset. Jesus’ words offended them because He was remind-
ing them that what they believed about God’s favor was not true. God is
God. God is for everyone, for all the peoples in the world. The problem
is, change is so difficult. It costs us to change, to change our attitudes
toward people, to change the way we behave, to change our patterns of
living.
This is what Jesus was about: He was not interested in simply
having nice intellectual discussions about God. He was calling them to
change the way they understood God, the way they understood them-
selves and the way they should treat other people. So the people of
Nazareth realized that they were facing a big challenge. They did not
accept to change. That is why they rejected Jesus and wanted to kill Him.
I think the same happens today. When we hear words pleasing to us, we Koinonia

Left Sts Joe and Paul 2am, Thursday arrived in Lalomas about 5:30pm in afternoon. Fr. Maxime graciously greeted us. We stayed in his rectory and their healthy roosters crowed all night. Friday Fr. Kalombo concelebrated with Fr. Maximum for an early morning Mass. Garry interpreted the homily for me. He is a thoughtful person. Visited with Tito and his family. Ronald, a 13 year old who lost his arm in an old sorghum press 3 years ago is doing well. This is a very poor country: no running water, no electricity, dirt roads only. The worst roads we have here are better than their best ones. Said night prayers, then sleep time. Saturday We washed dozens of children’s hair with fungus treatment. A group of us walked to the river bank about 1/2 mile, filled several 5 gallon jugs with water from pipes that came from a reser- voir from the mountain. Later we filtered some of it with the water filters that Sts. Joe and Paul sent. With Lee Franey as the “Dentist” and Marty Clouse as “Assistant”, a three hour dental clinic was open and they cleaned and examined about 45 children’s teeth and gave them toothpaste and toothbrushes. The community had a dance for us Saturday night and some of us danced! A few notes about my trip...I slept on the roof of the rectory one night, was Eucharistic minister for Sunday Mass, handed out rosaries and prayer cards. Even though they are very poor, and many wash their clothes in the river, every child wears a clean uniform to school each day. On Sundays for Mass the people were dressed in their very best. Several children are in great need of backpacks, all sizes and all kinds as well as pens, pencils, chalk and shoes for school because they cannot wear san- dals. They also need sponsorship for tuition. How did I get to Lalomas Haiti? Nearly a year ago a young lady casually told me of her trip to our twinning parish in Haiti. For me this was food for thought. After encouragement from our pastor Fr. Kalombo, Fr. Basilio, our parish family, my children and twin brother Conrad, I decided to make the trip. God put the puzzle pieces together and with the kindness, thoughtfulness and blessings of our group, here I am again back home with all my family. Yes, Jesus has blessed me many times. PS. Someone said, “Melvin, you need more patience waiting for your coffee with hazelnut creamer.”
