I attended the ‘This Land is our Land’ concert and rally at Pioneer Square in Portland on October 28, 2011 at noon. Young and old, the clean cut and not so clean cut were in attendance; a community was there. Along with musicians and politicians, there were rabbis, an imam and multiple protestant clergy sharing the message of change through individual responsibility and community. Where were the local Catholic priests, the men in black?
If you were praying for the poor and vulnerable, and calling your parishioners to do the same; your prayers will be answered!
If you were reading and proclaiming the Word and its message that we are all God’s children; your words will bear fruit!
If you were meeting the needs of the poor or supporting those who do; you work will not go unnoticed!
If you were doing none of these, where were you? Where are you? Where will you be?
In Christ and Peace,
John
