Fast, Pray and Repent
The immediacy of this plea I share in the link below should not be lost on us. We are getting a clarion call to repent, fast and pray. Humanity may depend on it. No one is being overly dramatic, he is able to hear the heartbeat of humanity. We are bleeding, we are weak. We are cutting off appendage after appendage in the name of…what?? We are completely out of our realm to make things right and if we do not move toward a deeper and truer humility at this moment and embrace our shared humanity as well as our creature-hood there will be repercussions for us all. As Pope Francis says, we are all accountable. https://www.facebook.com/FrJamesMartin?hc_location=stream
We are all accountable for what happens in the world. May we all heed the call to fast and pray for peace. I am reminded of John Donne’s poem:
“No man is an island entire of itself…any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind.”
