As the people of the United States await the outcome of national elections, it is helpful to find community and solidarity with others. Maryknoll has just published a number of opportunities for us to be with others, praying that peace and justice will prevail as voting results are finalized. Please note that the SSND Virtual Prayer Room for Peace is being suggested as an important resource for this time.
May peace, truth, and justice abide within the United States in the moment in history.
