We will discover the Emayc Center in Ukraine which, despite the war, continues to support people with disabilities and their families. And we will end our journey with a beautiful letter from Marie-Hélène Mathieu about the smile, expression of the soul! Do not hesitate to share this Hisse et Ho in your community, in your parish! We wish you a beautiful journey towards Easter, towards the Resurrection that makes us witnesses. May Jesus help us to live from his resurrection every day.

Up Sails ! N° 53
Become like little children. The one who would be great must become small. Jesus proposes a descending path: humble oneself, serve, be there for others. At the end of his life he reminded us of this once again, through a more radical action: he washes his diciples' feet, just like slaves would do, and asks them to do the same in the future. Are we in Faith and Light familiar with this, we who have done and celebrated it so often?
Up Sails 52!
Pentecost 2022. Our friends with intellectual disabilities are one of the best vaccines against any pandemic. They are a safe vaccine, I have experienced this personally. These vaccines do not have negative side effects and are free of charge. It is just a matter of will and choice. At Faith and Light, we need courageous men and women who look at others in the eye when they speak, who build, who carry, who contribute and who suggest. We need people who want to live with their problems and their wounds...
