As I work on this weeks Top Catholic Tweets, I’ve got CNN on in the background and am watching coverage of the situation in Baltimore. This week, we have seen that city–and others around the country–erupt with emotion. Today’s announcement that six police officers have been charged in the death of Freddie Gray will surely prompt a variety of responses. We’re reminded to continue to pray not only for justice in our own country, but for those lives lost and shattered in Nepal. As we view the news this week, let’s remember that rather than simply being consumers of information, we must be prayer warriors.
