Friday

Yesterday, a fortuitous event occurred.

While visiting a store on Pennsylvania Avenue, we noticed what we thought might be a demonstration--a group of people carrying signs.  

After taking a closer look and speaking with one of the participants, we learned that the group was commemorating the Way of the Cross on Good Friday, with a focus on economic and ecologic challenges and signs of hope harm in the world today.  The participants carried crosses, including one large cross, and prayed and sang while standing in front of the Embassy of Mexico, their 14th station on the Way of the Cross.  

 

One of the participants (possibly a nun out of habit) spoke with Greg and shared information about the group's walk.  The walk included stops at the Trump International Hotel, The World Bank and the Embassy of Mexico.  The visit to the Mexican Embassy focused on immigration from Central America to Mexico and the United States and the need for humane and holistic immigration policies for those fleeing violence and misery.

 

Thanks for observing this fortuitous event with us.
