Dear Friends,

Thursday this coming week, I'll be traveling to Haiti. Yes, on this coming week-end, I'll have the privilege to pray once more in my childhood church, the Cathedral of the Assumption in les Cayes. I may also have the privilege to pray in my native town church, Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Kavayon.

What a blessing!

I thank the Living God for life, life for you, life for me, life on earth with the hope of eternal life in Heaven.

It's good to be physically free and also enjoying inner freedom. I will always stay grateful to you all who prayed and advocated for me while I was unjustly dying in jail under trumped-up charges from de facto government officials imposed on us by a sector of the International Community. The Constitution of the land has been raped, and thousands of innocent citizens were killed and others displaced. Our elected president, Dr. Jean-Bertrand Aristide, was taken away and still remains in exile, four years later. The host country, South Africa, has done enough for us, Haitians. It is time to bring Dr. Aristide and his family back home to Haiti.

At the end of February 2008, I will travel to my ancestors' continent, Africa. Pray and let's try to convince the concerned officials in Haiti and South Africa to work out former President Aristide 's return soon. As South Africa is dealing with its own problems now, let's do our best advocacy to demand the safe return of Dr. Aristide and his family now.

Be creative and do your best peaceful activities individually or collectively in your respective communities.

With God's bless, enjoy living!

Best Regards,

Gerard Jean-Juste
