To be Leaven in the World

In Uganda, there is just one doctor for every 25,000 people. But in 2007, the late Dr. Gino Strada devised a project he hoped would revolutionize the country’s limited pediatric care. He called his friend and architect Renzo Piano and asked him to design a hospital that would be a place for medical, scientific, and human excellence. Fourteen years later, the Children’s Surgical Hospital in Entebbe was completed. “The door is open for everybody. We don't ask how rich or poor you are.”
“The way to find God may be to act as leaven in unhealthy situations. Jesus told his disciples that they are to be like leaven in the world, the tiny bit of yeast that helps the bread to rise. A small agent of change can alter situations dramatically.”
​– James Martin, The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything
Affirmative prayer: Today, I am so attuned to Divine truth that my consciousness and actions help to rise up the spirit and living conditions of others. My prayers, energy, and efforts bring comfort and hope to my sisters and brothers. We abide together in earthly and spiritual unity. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
