Evangelizing with a smile

Arkansas parish tackles 'Catholic Extreme Makeover' on priest's home

"I am hopeful I can walk again, but I am more hopeful that God will restore in me what he wants to," Father Ogbuji told the Arkansas Catholic, Little Rock diocesan newspaper. "Even if he doesn't, I will still be the same person."Life is not just about physical appearances. It's much more than that," he added.

"Life is more about the image of God. It's about patience and understanding and accepting the will of God even if it conflicts with your own personal plans. Life is about service (even) if you are only able to smile at people. Even if I can't use my legs and limbs, I can smile and help people who are going through the same things."
