ISARC 2009 Prayer Vigil
Praying that you have mercy on the poor Queen's Park - Tuesday, March 3, to Thursday, March 26
Ontario's faith communities prayed for the poor at Queen's Park during a series of pre-budget vigils outside the provincial legislature in March.
Provincial politicians were in the prayers of Buddhists, Christians, Hindus, Jews, Muslims and representatives of other faiths during the seven-hour vigils.
Multifaith participants prayed for the integrity, courage and spiritual strength of MPPs. And they prayed for compassion and justice to be directed to the poor in advance of the provincial budget presented in the legislature on March 26.
Vigils were held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. throughout March, Mondays to Thursdays. Each day at noon, a religious leader guided participants in prayer and reflection under a prayer canopy outside the legislature.

month-long Vigil was like.
