Connection.  This is what comes to me on how to express my recent visit to the Parish of Santisimo Sacramento in Piura, Peru.  One may question why God would allow poverty in any society.  A simple connection can make the difference.  There exists an opportunity to connect names of distant faces and make a connection of friendship. Living with this community of Catholics one can share the connection as the same universal Church.  It is really a true Eucharistic connection.  Moreover, connecting with our global community I can see we are all very much alike.

If one would want to risk putting into action then-Cardinal Ratzinger’s, now Pope Benedict XVI’s statement: “You must come yourselves; you must give of yourselves”, one might make the connection of a lifetime by stopping by for a visit.
