Father Al: On Christ and Human Suffering

“Good Friday 2020" by Polish Jesuit Vyacheslav Okun (Krakow)

"Christ knows the meaning of pain, poverty, and deprivation not theoretically or speculatively but by personal experience. He drank to the dregs the cup of human suffering of every man. No man, no matter how deep his pain or how crushing his humiliation, can look up to Christ and say, 'You do not know what it is.' He does know what it is because he has experienced it himself." 

- Fr. Aloysius Schwartz, "Poverty: sign of our times", p.39

Light shines over darkness,
Good triumphs over evil,
Truth prevails over falsehood,
Life overpowers death!

Now, we can only hope and pray

 that this Covid-19 pandemic

 would end the soonest.

This is our Easter prayer!

Prayers and Gratitude to our brave and generous
frontliners who continue to fight the battle
to end this worldwide pandemic.

May our Risen Christ guide and protect all of you!

Aloysius Schwartz, a missionary priest, was totally dedicated to serving the poor despite the struggles and sacrifices involved. In the process he was instrumental in bringing hope to thousands.

My Brother's Witness, Msgr. Aloysius Schwartz is the story of a missionary priest, raised in a poor neighborhood in Washington, D.C. who literally saved the lives of thousands of Korean orphans in the early 1960's by providing food, clothing ,shelter and his own fully-accredited school program. He simultaneously opened clinics, dispensaries and two hospitals offering free services to the poor. He founded two religious congregations to help bring his programs to thousands. He then established similar programs in the Philippines and Mexico just before his early death from a debilitating disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. His programs continue to flourish.

The author was quite content with her life as a wife, mother, and grandmother, with all of its joys and challenges. At the same time, from an early age, she was drawn into the life and work of her brother, Father Al, a missionary priest. After her first visit to his programs in Korea and the Philippines in 1989, she began writing about the overwhelming experience. She believes it is a story that will inspire, motivate and uplift all those who are searching for the good in life and who are striving to become part of it.
