CRS Rice Bowl

Dear Friend, Christyan spent 16 years away from his home. He was only 14 when his family left in fear of violence. Is it any wonder that, even though civil war still engulfed his homeland of Sri Lanka, he wanted to return to see what he'd left behind? READ CHRISTYAN'S STORY   We all deserve a place to call home. We deserve a safe place to raise our family. That's what Christyan wanted. It's what I want, too. What about you? This Lent, reflect on what we owe to one another—and on what we all deserve as children of God. Let's continue praying for one another—and that we all find safe homes—as we journey through Lent. Prayerfully, Eric Clayton Senior Program Officer, Mission and Mobilization Catholic Relief Services
