Day to day happenings at the Prayer Vigil March 10, 2009
Father Paul Hansen
led noon prayers for the participants from the Society of St. Vincent de
Paul and other individuals that came to pray for the day. Father Hansen
remembered the MPPs we were praying for today and reminded us of the
struggle we have as people of faith to be in the world, but not part of
it. And, to be a witness in the world where justice and compassion often
lose out to consumerism, greed, and power.
He also challenged us to not
just talk the talk of justice, but to walk it, to live it, no matter
how challenging that may be. Participants shared from their own
experience how they try to live as a witness to God's call for inclusion
and love and offered each other support and solidarity.
