    Goodness. I am from the Bronx, a proud Rican-Italian, my family up from Banana Kelly and then Co Op, . . . .and you know what, I find it beautiful. I don't know why. Now that I am in Paris, I find the Bronx scapes genuine and full of hope and promise and good natured and good souled people. Not everyone, but there's a fair share of saints among the people.

    So many memories. I built the clothing rack in the clothing room, I used black 3/4 inch piping after the old rack ripped away from the wall. I replaced all the furniture in the shelter. Got a really good deal on the couches from a store in the upper end of Harlem. Fr. Pio & I were classmates. Prior to him running the shelter it was Br. Peter, & before that, me. Now back home in NZ.

      Christ said, "The one who can accept this should accept it." That's not a "command". It's a SUGGESTION. St. Paul said "But if they can’t control themselves, they should get married, because it’s better to marry than to burn with passion." NOT A COMMAND. CALM YOURSELF.
