Trocaire’s Lenten Campaign “whoever honours a mother is like someone amassing a fortune.”Ecclesiasticus, 3:4.

We think of Miriam, who appears on this Lent’s Trócaire Box, as she wonders if she will manage to get her little daughter Maria to safety when the next storm hits northern Honduras and floods their home.
