Love In Action


[Montreal] Last year, our compassionate Master instructed disciples to send financial assistance to the Montreal Center so that initiates there could buy New Year's gifts for poor families in Montreal. Once again this year, we received money from Master to purchase rice, tea, towels, soup, and other daily necessities for poor families who had asked for our assistance.
During the Au Lacese
New Year Exhibition, gifts
were distributed with love.

After purchasing the goods, we packed them into individual bags after a group meditation, just a day before the Au Lacese New Year Exhibition. On the exhibition day, many brothers and sisters came to help with the transportation, answering questions and distributing gifts to the family members on the gift list.

During the distribution of Master's gifts to the poor families that had come to receive them at our exhibition booth, it was wonderful to see the joyful faces of the recipients. They all appreciated Master's care and loving thoughts towards them, even though She had never met them in person. Some people, who had also received Master's gifts last year, wrote a letter of appreciation to Her this time to express their
thanks and gratitude.
