My Vigil Statement in 2018 regarding Missile Strikes Against Syria

Let us be together in a spirit of prayer, reflection, or meditation.

Once, at the beginning of the Persian Gulf War, many years ago, a rally was gathered to protest against war. Everyone was hoping the speaker, Henri Nouwen, would rail against the administration. Instead, he asked, How is it with your soul? So, how is it with your soul?

So let us begin there. May each of you know well-being, compassion, and peace. May your compassion be ever-increasing.
