November 29

I was in Beirut and was taken to a bombed hospital where we found fifty-five children of whom some were severely handicapped. I said that I would take the children. We left for the convent with them, though we were lacking everything, even the necessities to care for them. Some children and young people (Muslims, Christians, Druses etc.) came to help us and the smallest went home to bring their clothes to give these children. Some were chewing gum and in a burst of love, took the gum that they were chewing and gave it to them!
