  âAs peace-loving people, this is indeed the time to pray for Godâs 
mercy,
 wisdom and guidance. Our prayer should also entail our commitment to 
being
an instrument of peace.â â New York Area Bishop Jeremiah Park on 
hostilities
                          in the Korean Peninsula.

African school fights malaria with hope, faith

   ABIDJAN, Côte dâIvoire (UMNS) â Sometimes, it takes a school to 
conquer
   malaria. Berthe Nizié Beugré, 18, knew the horrible toll the 
disease can
   take. Four of her 10 siblings died of the disease. She was 
diagnosed with
   malaria at age 2, soon after the death of her father. Poverty and 
years of
   ineffective treatment left her on the verge of renal failure that 
threatened
   her life. But God, she and others say, had other plans.
