Honoring the Dream

With today's blog post I would like to give thanks for and honor the memory and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a true hero both for the U.S. as a nation and for humanity as a whole - a prophet who stood up for equality and justice when it was not easy to do so and gave us hope for a world where discrimination, hatred and prejudice will be overcome.

There is still much work to do to end racial discrimination and injustice in this country and of course there are many other fronts in the fight against prejudice and intolerance. May God awaken us to the ways in which we continue to participate both individually and collectively in the oppression of our sisters and brothers and grant us the true freedom of the children of God - the freedom to be found in serving and caring for others.

In peace,
Padre Chuck
