A NEW BABY

Something else just dropped out of heaven! For the first time ever in the course of the 30 years of our existence, around midnight, Thursday-Friday 8-9 May, the magic happened: our now youngest member of our Mercy Family was born – at Mercy House! We were happily able to cope with this sudden arrival, since we have Shadadi, whom we took in at age 8 still living with us. We put him through a very good private school then he got a bursary to do a degree at Wits Medical School. He is now a qualified medical practitioner. Another resident is Gaston, a registered qualified nurse. These two delivered the baby girl, Tianna, who has given much joy and many blessings to our Mercy community. We welcome her and wish the parents well in shaping this child into a valuable member of the human community. Interestingly, she arrived in this world on the same day as our new Holy Father, Pope Leo, was chosen.
