On the Memory of the Martyrs

Today is the anniversary of the death / martyrdom of Sr. Dorothy Stang. Though unlikely to be remembered in the U.S. media, she should be remembered in our hearts.

If Mary Stuart can pray for us, then so can Dorothy Stang. And if she can pray for us, perhaps we can do something for the poor we see among us today!

God does not desire Martyrs, but justice, mercy, peace.

Let us rejoice in the good that God has brought to fruition in the life and ministry of Sr. Dorothy Stang and ask him to give us the courage to follow her example of loving service.

I refer curious readers to a post made some time ago.
