Greeting from all of us at the eye clinic. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
The clinic is full of people. The male doctor, Dr. Jacques Julien is in the operating room working on some patients. The female doctor, Dr. Guerline Roney is consulting patients. I am in and out of my office to oversee that everything is running smoothly. The young girl of 19 years old who has been struggling with glaucoma since 2001 Comes out of the doctor's consulting room.
She is about to finish her high school. The doctor has just told Celestin Junelle that she is loosing her left eye. The tension is high and the sight is rapidly falling. Junelle can not stop crying. Her mother who is with her can not find words enough to comfort the crying girl. The whole clinic is almost in panic because of her cries.
I bring her in my office for a moment of quiet time and counseling but the cries continue. Junelle is rapidly loosing her left eye due to the situation of her parents both jobless and can not afford the life time treatment.
Many persons over here like Junelle will have a Christmas devoid of true meaning. They are struggling with loosing their physical sight, hunger, diseases of all kind...
We pray that this Christmas we can help some gain their spiritual sight without it, it is impossible to see the Son, the Prince of Peace.
