Untold news

Another untold news. A couple of young Christian men were shot by Hamas in Gaza recently. Some have recovered but need help with walking. But one was shot quite badly and rehabilitation is slow. I think he got it near the spine. He just had a second operation a few days back to enable him to walk again. I cannot tell you the pain, sadness, frustration that we (Mother Theresa's sisters as well) feel about this. Who gave them the right to shot someone else just because he is christian? Do you people know how bad the situation is for Christians in Gaza today? Honestly? I cannot enter Gaza now myself - it's simply too dangerous. But the aid to Christians there will not stop. It must not.

Meanwhile the sisters' good work doesn't stop there. They obviously noticed how thin I've become and are worried; so they got to force-feeding me yesterday. They cooked lunch for me and got me over to their convent for dinner so they can make me eat. They are really very nice and caring - I owe them big time.
