Sweet Tweets for 7/18/14 — Praying for Peace and Healing 2015-03-12T16:45:44-07:00 Lisa M. Hendey

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

John Clem shares: “We have a big free concert in Charlottesville called Fridays After 5, and started an evangelical effort called Downtown Dominicans where we passed out rosaries and sang hymns. Here is Brother Athenasius handing a rosary to an young woman inquiring about Catholic Faith. These young brothers started this effort at Washington DC Metro Stations, and brought it to Charlottesville during the Summer. Wishing them well as they continue their studies at the Dominican House at Catholic University studying for the priesthood.”

From my hilltop “office” in the Catskills, it’s easy to feel far removed from the news. We don’t have a phone here and I’ve been trying to limit my elective media use as this experience is almost retreat-like in nature. But this past week’s events including the strife in the Middle East, the typhoon, the border issues and yesterday’s plane crash have found there way even up onto my mountain. I’m in prayer — as I know you are — for so many who need peace and healing. I’m appreciative of Pope Francis’ efforts to lead us in intercessory prayer for those most in need during these turbulent times.

Thank you to John Clem for this week’s Sweet Tweets. Let’s pray too for John who will make his profession to the Secular Franciscan Order on Sunday. John, we give thanks to God for you!
