Trócaire's Reflection for this coming Third Sunday of Advent.

The Gift of a Vegetable Garden

Joseph and Mary were forced to become refugees when they left Bethlehem for Egypt to protect Jesus. There are many millions of modern day refugees in our world today. On your behalf Trocaire tries to ensure their safety and survival. Trócaire gave Joseph (17), a young refugee, and his mother seeds, tools and training when they returned to their home after years living in a refugee camp in Uganda. Joseph grows beans, potatoes, millet, cabbage and eggplant in his family’s vegetable garden. This year for €25 / £22 you can help many people in India plant seeds of hope.
