Profile for the month

We all have beginnings which can be determined by those who were present, but our ends are mostly unknown to us. We have the opportunity between life and death to make our existence count by doing just what the Creator, God Alighty made us for.
Dr. Adadevoh died because of the contact she had with the American-Liberian Patrick Sawyer who came into Nigeria infected with the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD). She was a medical doctor in the private hospital Mr. Sawyer came to for treatment. Her act of preventing him from leaving the hospital saved the lives of numerous others who would have been in contact with him. She paid the ultimate price in dying in isolation and sickness. She died a heroin and will be remembered in the hearts of many and in the annals of history. May God grant her loved ones fortitude and favour in Jesus name, amen.
Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen said,
“Imagine the funeral service of a person who had lived in sacramental and mystic union with Christ throughout his life. His body is dead beyond all doubt, but his soul lives, not only with natural immortality, which it possesses, but with the very life of God. Suppose a pallbearer standing nearby is in the state of sin. In the eyes of God, it is the pallbearer who really is dead and if we were spiritually minded, we would weep over him and chant a requiem over his soul rather than the departed one. The real death is not the death of the body, but the death of the soul.” Archbishop Fulton Sheen (From the Angel’s Blackboard)

Story Time

  Lisungu Chieza from Zimbabwe was 26 when she was told in 1996 that she was HIV+. "This started my long journey of coping with being HIV+. My husband died in my arms at home eight months later." Not only did Lisungu have to cope with her own illness and losing her husband, but her husband's family also wrongly blamed her for his death. They came to her house, took away his things, and said, "If those children of yours get sick, don't even call us. We won't have anything to do with them or you." They would not even let her go to her husband's burial. "I gave up a college course I had planned to do. All I thought about was death. I neglected my children and myself." But her mother supported her. Lisungu began to find hope again and joined an HIV support group. Then she started to help others who were also HIV+, and took a college course about HIV-AIDS. She spoke at HIV meetings with the young people in her church. She believes that it is ver...
