Medical Mission
ROSA MYSTICA
August 10-16, 2008

DAY 3: August 12

The whole world is turned towards the Philippines


Thanks to ACIM, the Philippines are not forgotten from the rest of the world. Volunteers, medical teams, doctors and religious from all horizons join the mission. They are Malaysian, South Koreans, Canadians, Filipinos but also French, Polish or even New Zealanders or Americans.

They all have one goal: to heal! To heal bodily wounds for the ones, to heal spiritual wounds for the others. For more than 10 hours, dentists (they were 14 today!) pediatricians, general practicioners, pharmacists and nurses bandage wounds, extracted teeth. The young Bethanians were catechizing, the priests were blessing, confessing, offering the Holy Mass. Thanks to ACIM's network, the grievous cases were referred to local specialists who will take care of them freely.

The continuity of medical care is guaranteed.
