I'm sure that you are a great presence to them, especially in their time of need. We remain connected in prayer for loved ones and friends.<br /><br />Yes, the Islamic culture stamps an imprint on Society as you would expect. The struggles here are different from communities in the West, and it is much like the struggles 1st and 2nd century Christians faced. Thank God, the Jordanian King is so good.John Predmore, S.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07780956487312753221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5993257199134137466.post-28769934173316375132013-11-11T17:10:22.459-05:002013-11-11T17:10:22.459-05:00What a lovely newsy post. You have touched on so ...What a lovely newsy post. You have touched on so many topics and given us an insight into various areas of your life in Amman. The world is small - you have a Filipino presence in your parish as do we here in Canada. We grieve with them for the devastation that has resulted in the loss of life. We connect in community as do you while we wait to hear who among our friends has been impacted. <br /><br />As I read about the influence of the Islamic culture on your Christian community, I reflected on St. Paul's writings to the various churches in the 1st century as they struggled in a similar way.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your life with us. I learn so much from you. Blessings and prayers.Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06336536082191736636noreply@blogger.com
