"Everyone is poor enough to receive and rich enough to give." Anawim is a Hebrew word from the Old Testament. It describes the “poor in spirit” who remained faithful to God. Mary was the first perfect Anawim. It is a name we have given ourselves as 10-12 Catholics came together in 2014, the Year of the New Evangelisation. In the midst of a world that seems to suggest more and more that God is not relevant and/or that we can do without Him, we want to experience and find relevance in our Faith today... Read more
