He promises the Holy Spirit to all who call upon the name of the Lord in prayer. The journeys of justice and peace cannot be without prayer. To rely on the arm of the flesh alone, without recourse to the supernatural realities of our lives is for me to betray the poor, who need the very best that we can give. To pray for guidance is to ask for the ability to correctly read the signs of these times. And that leads directly to having the courage to step outside of the culture of death's political categories and commit to a metanoia that seeks to understand the signs of these times from the viewpoint of the Reign of God, right here, right now . . .
Today is the celebration of Our Lady of the Rosary.
Let us in unity pray the Rosary for the intention of receiving an inner illumination regarding our discernment of the signs of these times. May we open our eyes to see the new Realities that are coming to be during these days. The Jubilee bell is ringing, proclaiming liberty to all who are captives of oppression and injustice. It calls each one of us to free the captives we hold in bondage, to cease from our own individual oppressions, and to do good. Thus the Sun of Justice with its healing rays will rise upon us, bringing light out of darkness at the dawn of this New Day of the Kingdom.
