The Good Friday Journey

Today I joined others in Rochester for a walk in the city.

Two miles.  Three deaths in recent years.

We have too many children who have witnessed violence.

We have too many deaths for senseless reasons

We have too many people who have difficulty managing anger. 

The results are too well known.

Disputes settled by violence.

Violence in our homes

Violence in our streets

Violence in our hearts

Where do we start

How can we make a difference.

With our babies and toddlers.

How ... well that is for another post :)

May these children who walked with the cross know peace.

May they be surrounded by love

May they have access to the beauty of the world around them.

We can make a difference for these children

Together male and female

Young and old

Clergy and parishioner

Rich and poor

Black, white, brown

We can do this.

Christ died ... it is Good Friday ... 

The journey continues
