The Kwa Noi prison camp in Thailand was a living hell for British and American soldiers in World War II.
Then one day a couple of prisoners decided to organise faith-sharing groups. The camp situation changed dramatically.
A prisoner recalls that one evening he was hobbling back to his shack after a late Bible session. Suddenly he heard a group of men singing Psalm 121 "I lift my eyes to the mountains: where is help to come from ? Help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.". The words of that psalm made the darkness seem friendly.....The difference between this joyful sound and the joyless stillness of months past was the difference between life and death,
It is the kind of difference Jesus made - and still makes - in our world.
I have a great need for Christ; I have a great Christ for my need....!
Spirit 2000 Mark Link S.J.
