He recounts the influence of the monk Thomas Merton on his conversion and contemplative life. Straub8217s journal reflections share his whole-hearted commitment to aid the most vulnerable.82218212L8217Osservatore Romano8220The power of contemplation and action to beacon hope for our world8217s dark journeys shines out in Gerry Straub8217s fascinating tale of his adventures in Haiti as the founder of the Santa Chiara Children8217s Center. Merton would have been avid to read the story of this married, secular Franciscan who gave up a New York media career to serve the poor. Gerry8217s witness in this book would have mentored Merton on how faith in action can triumph in hiding over despair and violence.82218212Guerric Heckel, OCSO, Director of St. Francis Retreat Center at Mepkin Abbey, South Carolina8220Merton would be pleased and humbled to know he accompanied Gerry Straub into the most appalling circumstances of Haiti, and to afford motivation throughout such hopeless daily experiences encountered here with bald honesty and raw faith.82218212Brother Paul Quenon, OCSO, Abbey of Gethsemani, and Author of In Praise of the Useless Life&quotLike Saint Francis of Assisi, although to a secondary extent, Merton has mentored Gerry Straub8217s spiritual exercises of remembering, of being awed by, and of obeying the commands of God8217s love, received throughout his community8217s days at the Santa Chiara Children8217s Center. His prose is undergirded with the poetry of his longing for God8217s presence in and for Haiti hour by hour. Gerry8217s prose and life resonate with Merton8217s texts. This book befriends Merton8217s own searching for God. Straub and Merton sing together, adding their voices to the chorus of God8217s beloved community in Haiti.&quot8212From the Introduction by Jonathan MontaldoGerald Straub has written and directed more than twenty documentary films focusing on the plight of the poor in such poverty-stricken nations as India, Kenya, Uganda, Jamaica, Haiti, Brazil, Peru, Honduras, El Salvador, Mexico, and The Philippines. He lives primarily in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, where he operates the Santa Chiara Children8217s Center, a home for forty-five abandoned and displaced kids.<br>
