From Sr. Isa Sola:
As you know, Isa has returned to Haiti and is in Port-au-Prince. She has written about her present experience in Spanish on the web site:
http://www.projectehaiti.com/news_020410.htm.

We have here a rough English translation and hope Isa forgives us!

She speaks about recent consolations:
“My greatest consolation is that we four are living: Vivian, Gardyne, Middia and I. We cannot be together because we are wounded in body or soul, but we are alive and that’s something I had never appreciated so much.”

“Another strong feeling is the link with young people with whom I was with in the hospital’s early days….Each time I returned to the hospital to see them, they gave a wonderful smile …and told me they missed me. Without knowing it, I have been healed more than they!”

“Another consolation was a wooden cross I received upon arrival in the U.S.A. It is Bethlehem wood, soft white, rounded, and my hand has caressed and adapted to its shape. A paper found with the cross explained the healing power of the Cross in times of pain; if you cannot pray, it does not matter. Just grab the cross, touch it, feel it and let it give its curative effect.

No talk, no prayer, no song. Just press it between your hands. I say names of those who left, those who stayed….of those who saved me.”
