How can we worship a homeless man on Sunday and ignore one on Monday?

Jesus taught us a prayer of community and reconciliation, belonging to a new people who have left the land of 'me'.

We have been mentored from the very beginning by Catholic folks who are invigorating the best of the monastic spirit.

We have a relational problem with those who are suffering or who are different from us. All of us are most comfortable around people who are like us culturally and economically.

When we ask God to move a mountain, God may give us a shovel.

We can ignore suffering no matter where we live. There are people who live a few miles from me who never see much poverty or the injustices that live on our doorstep.

This common prayer project has taken years of energy, but we see it not as a way to leave our individual churches, but as a movement we hope to see permeate the larger Church.
