According to Father [Denis] Como [S.J.], �every day I spend time with these refugees, celebrating Mass for them, trying to explain why the U.S.A. that says their leader is evil to his people, won�t let this same people [emigrate to] the U.S.A.�
�So here I am, without a big printed-out plan of tasks, just ready to walk with these people and listen and make them laugh by yelling out quaint Iraqi phrases,� he states.
Ministering to this community is often emotionally draining, admits Father Como. �I spend time, and lots of prayers, trying to find ways of helping these Iraqis face the fact that they are a �people in-between��.
�My toughest moment is when I am celebrating the Chaldean Mass, facing the people so crowded in the church that they come a foot from the altar, and hearing them sing so loud and from their guts that I could cry aloud,� he says.
