Vigils

God of Grace, I pray blessing on all the different groups from various religious organizations in Louisville who are holding prayer vigils around the city in solidarity with immigrant neighbors. They are drawing attention to the increasing deportations and detentions that are harming our community.

One of the primary tasks of a Christian is to not look away from suffering. This is too enormous for any one of us to pull it off alone. We can only bear to witness the reality of suffering (and of grace) together, each doing what we can when we can. We tag-team, relay, and rally our way through.

Those holding vigil remind us that we are in this together, and we must care for all. Amen.
