Where Dominicans Are Praying This Summer
This summer, in the city of Milwaukee, the number of
violent deaths has escalated to record proportions. There is fear and sadness in many
neighborhoods. The Sinsinawa Dominicans
in Milwaukee joined the Amani neighborhood
for a prayer vigil. A libation prayer
was made by an elder of the community calling upon the ancestors to bless us
and guide us to the path of peace. This
prayer called for trust and reminded each neighbor of their importance. Brotherhood and sisterhood were named as
cherished relationships. Unity and
compassion were evoked as answers to prayer.
Each of us left having promised to be a light of peace for all we
meet.
Where are you this summer? With whom are you praying? And, for what do you prayer?
