Sunday was the dessert for a week of work and sharing…It was an amazing day as we had a communal mass at the Bethlehem House. it was so beautiful to share mass with so many of the youth and adults that we had been with for the last week. All of our friends from the centers were dressed in their Sunday finest and most of the kids that were unable to function on their own were carried over by the Brothers and us. The neighbors came in by the droves and the church was packed! What a lively and lovely mass it was and everyone was beaming from the joy proclaimed and Our Lord joining us together as a true community. We finished mass and headed back for our trip to the mountaintop, Mount Tabor. It took about 50 minutes to drive to Mt Tabor and Br Vincent thrilled us with tales of the heroic virtue that had led to the building of Mt Tabor. The MOPS had been given this piece of land by a generous benefactor. There were a few small problems, you could not reach the mountaintop as there were no roads, it was dense jungle terrain and it was a mountain top so you could not build on it. Fr Ho Lung saw these as opportunities to grow in virtue and the Brothers immediately embraced his vision. One year later the Brothers had built a road up the side of the mountain (at least 2-3 miles long with a brick wall built into the mountain to hold back the earth that would come landsliding down when hurricanes would hit. At some points this wall was 15 feet high! This was impressive but really nothing at all compared to the Center for disabled boys,The beautiful chapel and the retreat house that they had built. ALL THIS IN ONE YEAR?
