Fridays, at 12 noon,
and individually join in praying for an end to the violence plaguing America.
God of love beyond measure, we hear your call to open our arms wide to let the suffering of the world come into our lives. We cannot remain passive in the midst of the challenge. We desire to live your love with total abandon without counting the cost or the reward. We long to care deeply for all of your creation and to make a difference where we can. Help us to dedicate ourselves prayerfully and actively to banishing violence from our hearts, words and deeds, to becoming nonviolent people and to building nonviolent communities that care for our common home. Grant us strength and wisdom; we pray to live in justice and peace every moment, everywhere. Amen

#BLACKLIVESMATTER
Sunday we remembered Philando Castile, a 34 year old killed by police in 2016. After informing police he had a registered gun on his person he was shot.
Castile’s case highlights the injustice and racial prejudice in traffic stops for Black Americans. According to an NPR analysis, Castile had been stopped a total of 46 times — almost all of which were related to fairly minor traffic violations. His case also highlights the injustice in gun ownership laws for Black Americans. Gun owners are obligated to inform police that they have a weapon, yet Black owners are more often shot upon revealing this information. Today we pray for Philando and his loved ones. May he rest in power. Black lives matter.
