Their romantic idealisms of life have been shattered. But they smile anyway and say it is okay. Surely, Christ, who sent fish to the fisher's net can help. Surely the disciples of Christ can help. Surely you can help us to shed the light of Christ to the people here who live without hope or possibility.
Poverty takes away hope, it takes away opportunity.
Help us to share the hope, the hope that we all share in Christ Jesus. Christ is the light of the world. May Christ's light shine in our lives so that Christ may shine in the lives of the Mapuche people and to all the people of the world who need the hope that we have found in Jesus Christ. Rev. Greg Kiel Esquel, Argentina Rev Greg Kiel Av. Page revised December 13, 2000.
