Lent and Easter 2008
Theme: God can do all things in us
Focusing on right relationships.
Our time and place in history brings us face
to face with profound societal impasse… We can find no escape from the world
we have built where the poor and oppressed cry out, where the earth and
environment cry out, and where the specter of nuclear waste already haunts
future generations… Everything is just too complex, too beyond our reach.
Yet it is only in the process of bringing the impasse to prayer, to the
perspective of the God who loves us, that our society will be freed, healed,
changed, brought to paradoxical new visions, and freed for nonviolent,
selfless, liberating action, freed, therefore, for community on this planet
earth.– Constance FitzGerald, OCD,
from Crucible for Change, Engaging Impasse through Communal Contemplation
and Dialogue.
