My heart weeps for those affected in urban environments where lawlessness rules. I pray for those whose lives are so assaulted by crime and drugs that they cannot find hope or help. St. Francis, you lived with the most poor in all consuming compassion and Even fearlessly even brought Jesus’ name and love to the leaders of Muslim invaders in wars that pit opposing beliefs. With Father Greg Doyle, author of Barking at the Choir, I would ask for radial kinship with those seeking a better way of life and also for St. Francis’ courage to shine the light of love upon those who seek to exploit the downtrodden for harmful purposes. Lord, may we listen to Your call and act in Your purposes for Your creation.
