For the blessing and protection of the children and the restoration of the soul of our nation
(Email received)

Dear little handmaids and friends,
This morning, in the midst of running errands, I
stopped at McDonald's to have a cup of coffee and read the newspaper.
As I read the stories about the thousands of
unaccompanied children from Central America arriving at our borders, my eyes
were filled with tears, tears from deep in my heart.
I was crying not only for the children, but also for
our nation, for those who are more concerned with what they call "the
securing of our borders" than they are for the urgent needs of children
who are knocking at the doors of our nation begging for help.
It is the lives of these children that is at stake.
But, even more urgently, it is the soul of our nation
that is at stake.
Will we be a compassionate nation, or will we enclose
our hearts in the hard armor of self interest?
Please pray with me for the blessing and protection of
these children, and for the restoration of the soul of our nation.

according to your word." (Lk 1:38)
