“O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his steadfast love endures forever!” Psalms 118:1. This Palm Sunday we celebrate God’s love that is manifested by the support we give to those in the world who are less fortunate than us and face daily hardship. People like Daniel from Uganda who appeared on the Trócaire Box in 2012 aged 9. Daniel is now 15 and doing well in school. The support Daniel’s family received ensured that he and his siblings could get an education and dream of a better future. www.trocaire.org
