Lay Dominican Democracy - Catheryn Orive OP






PLEASE PRAY FOR MONIQUE

Monique is a woman who lives in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Patricia is a personal friend of our community and was a missionary in the DRC for awhile. She is our translator and communicates with Monique
Patricia is a personal friend of Monique. and is a personal friend of each one of our members.

Monique runs a small clinic to help children and women.
"Blessed Mary Mother of Dominic Chapter of Cedaredge" supports her in as many ways as we can.
Although our community sends her some money from time to time it is very dangerous for her to make the journey to the town where she can bank and receive funds and supplies. Because of the chaos in the DRC she does not want to draw attention to herself and her clinic. So communication is limited.
When she can, she sends e-mails to Patricia and Patricia sends the translation from French into English to us.

Can you drink the cup that I am going to drink? (Mt 20:22)
But who do you say that I am? (Mt 16:15)
Do you also want to leave? (Jn 6:67)
Do you believe now? (Jn 16:31)
So you could not keep watch with me for one hour? (Mt 26:40)
Will you lay down your life for me? (Jn 13:38)
Are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss? (Lk 22:48)
